Adding newline to a string
Hello all.
I am looking to insert a newline char into a string that will be interpreted
by MS Word as a newline. I tried the EscapeTool, but the $(esc.n) was
ignored when the string was ported to Word. I know that Word differentiates
between a newline and a paragraph. It would be nice to know the codes for
both. Thanks.

But this worked! Simply put a return inline.
#set ($result = "${result}
${ResRec}")
