<% String b="a\na"; %>
<%=b%>

When the above code is printed, it is displayed as'a a'.

How do you represent line breaks?

  • JSP creates HTML. Linebreaks in HTML are usually ignored unless they are in a special tag like `
    ` and can be created with the tag `
    `. You might want to look up a basic HTML tutorial and look up how HTML is used to format elements before starting to work with JSP.

  • @XO56 If you hit the "Flag" button under the question and select it to be a duplicate of that question, it will automatically insert that comment for you. (Like mine above.) And it also pushes this question into a review queue where people can vote to close it as an duplicate. – Ivar Feb 04 '21 at 16:07

To enter a linebreak in JSP you need to use <br/> instead of \n for it to show in the browser.
