That will work in most browsers, Windows or otherwise, because they all seem
to interpret chr(10) as enough for a newline even if the OS demands a cr-lf
combination for a valid line break.
But if you're creating PDFs, you'll probably want writeOutput('some text
here' & chr(10) & chr(13)) just to make sure that you're feeing it valid
linefeeds. You may check the PDF documentation (what there is of it, anyway)
to see exactly what character combo it wants for a newline. Generally, the
character sets are as follows:
Mac: cr
Win: cr-lf
*NIX: lf
It's kinda twitchy, and a PITA, to get the characters just right...
experiment and see what you come up with.
Laterz!
