AW: How to define line breaks in a resource bundle message?

[Matthias Kahlau]

Hi!

I thought the renderer of h:message does replace the line terminator sequence \n with HTML, but that seems not to be the case. I tested to use "&lt;br/&gt;" (without double quotes), and this also doesn't work. The string is just diplayed as text. (I also tried <br> without success.)

I think it's an important use case to display error messages in multiple lines. Does anybody have a solution, or is this just impossible at the moment?

Regards,

 

Matthias

Are you sure \n isn't working? (Remember that \n is meaningless in html (it is a space))

If you are using  output text, and you want a new line in HTML you may have to use "&lt;br/&gt;". I haven't tested this, but I'd imagine this may work for you

Hi Dave,


many thanks. If my understanding is correct, the line terminator sequence \n
should work. But I tried it using h:message, and it doesn't work. Is it
possible that h:message is not capable of rendering the line terminator
sequence appropriately?



Regards,

Matthias
