I have string with ‘\n’ character. When I display it in a table, it shows as one line.  
Is there a way to create multiline strings in a Perspective table?

> Howdy y’all, We were having issues determining the method to put a line break inside of a string with perspective. We tried the usual \<br\> and \<br/\> and some other CSS code but with no avail. Thanks

Basically, no - you must use some other component(s) to achieve a break.

Not sure if you have solved this. I was facing the same issue. Managed to solved it by setting “whiteSpace” to “pre-line” under column style.
