wrapping text
Hi,
How do we wrap texts with "\n"? I have tried t:div but did not work.
Thank you

That will wrap the text to some arbitrary width...
Rereading your message, you are expected the \n in your String to be
treated as the line end.
Have you tried CSS like:
white-space: pre

I would go with the CSS then. :)

Hi Jeff
Worked like charm!
<t:outputText escape="false" style="white-space: pre;"
value="#{communication.body}" />
Many Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
sorry for not being clear.
what i need is for the text to keep follow line breaks without using
replaceAll "\n" with <br/> . the reason for that is some texts are
stored in the db as pure text with escape char while others are saved in
html format.

You mean you tried:
<t:div style="width: 25px;"/>
<h:outputText ... />
</t:div>
That didn't work?
