Hello guys i am trying to figure out what is worng with thoose special escaped character, like \n \t \r ... As i cannot make them working. The browser doesn't display them, but doesn't eithr crate a new line, or else. I am using them fro example like this: print: "this shoudl be on a line \nwhile this on a new line"; I've searched google and saw man people struggling with this, but apparently not a clear answer to why....maybe is a stupid beginner question, but i would just like to know. (Personally i solved for the moment by printing out <br> or <pre>, but i would like to understand this. Cheers, Nick
