Way to do line break in simple table cell in report?

Ignition
1

Using 8.1.47

Have a report with a simple table as the number of rows/columns are hardcoded. In one of the cells I just need to show two lines of text like

Line 1
Line 2

but I can’t seem to actually do this, \n doesn’t work, <HTML>Line 1<br>Line 1just shows the html tags, and pressing Enter just highlights the whole cell as does shift+enter. This must be possible but I can’t figure it it out this morning can someone assist?

2

I am assuming that in your actual attempt you closed the HTMl element?

Did you try \r\n?

Given the rest of ignition you normally just have to do the opening I didn’t but trying it with the close didn’t help either. No luck with \r\n either.

You will need to return the actual HTML string with the data from the data source.

That works thanks. Annoying to have to do it this way but glad it works.
