\n doesn't work

Question

I am running this code, but it outputs everything on the same line. Why \n doesn't work here?
document.write ('Line 1\n Line 2');

Answer 1

Yeah. IIRC, HTML line breaks are done via <br/>. You may use those instead, since that's how HTML documents are parsed.

Answer 2

Thanks! With <br/> it works fine!

Answer 3

[meta] <pre> tags don't "interfere" with text so literal carriage returns are okay there. Hatsy Rei has the right context for what you're doing.

Answer 4

PGameYT no... you use \n in javascript too... like alert:
alert("line 1 \n line2")

Answer 5

You can use \n only in alert and console methods.

Answer 6

simply use <br> in code
document.write('Line 1 <br> Line2');

Answer 7

oh I know the console stuff but I nevr knew you could do that in J.S. Thats cool thanks for the advice. 👍👍👍

Answer 8

\n is only us ed in C
