newline / line break on a UI page

[conmic]

Hello everyone,

it seems I have trouble with an simple task.. I want to extract the street field of a stockroom (or company) to display it on a UI page.

I build a UI macro as I need the same structure on a few places, but I have the problem that the website doesn't resolve the newline/line break not properly.

I'm evaluating a GlideRecord and extracting the street value ${jvar_delivery_gr.getValue('location.street')}

after that it is automatically written into a variable as I use a UI macro, where I declare it like so:

       <tr>
           <td>
                   ${jvar_street}
           </td>
       </tr>

When I do this it shows up like this:

address line 1 address line 2 address line 3

but it should show:

address line 1

address line 2

address line 3

using the Element Inspector in firefox I can see that the inner HTML is properly showing the line breaks.

I tried several methods but all failed. the closest was to replace \n with <br/>, but this show then like shown below as the <br/> is doubled:

address line 1

address line 2

address line 3

I lost a lot of time with jelly today doing the simplest things... I hope somebody can help me.

Kind Regards

Michel

Try :

<pre>

1. <tr>  
2.           <td>  
3.                   ${jvar_street}   <br/>
4.           </td>  
5.       </tr>  

</pre>

thanks, that almost did the trick... I think that one was just too easy, or I should review my HTML/CSS classes...

I did it now like this for testing and it worked.   I will transfer the value to the <style> tag as next, oh boy, how embarrassing

      <tr>

          <td style="white-space:pre-line">

                  ${jvar_street}

          </td>

      </tr>
