Newline doesn't work
Silly question.
I wrote a servlet that gets init params from the web.xml and stuffs them
into the request which is the displayed by JSP.
But when I try to make it a string with newline characters it still prints
everything in one line - like newline characters turn into regular space
characters.
This is the code:
String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
String rName = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("rName");
String kName = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("kName");
result += "Family Members" + newline;
result += rName + newline;
result += kName + newline;
I tried "\n", and '\n' as well.
Thanks.

You don't seem to realise how nice they all were. I tell you, no
technical issue is too complex for these guys.

That's the way HTML works. You need to separate lines by <p> or <br>;
experiment with both to see which is more to your liking.

That's the way HTML works. You need to separate lines by <p> or <br>; experiment with both to see which is more to your liking.

Try
If this is going to be displayed by a browser then try:
String newline = "<br>";
