});

Hi Dennis,

Can you please try 2 things :

1. change the control from sap.m.Text to sap.m.Label.

2. write a formatter for the text property to replace the escape chatacters :

eg :

//VIEW ->

<Label text="{path:'/textValue', formatter:'.formatStringData'}"></Label>

//CONTROLLER ->

formatStringData : function(stringValue){

var str = "";

  if(stringValue){

       str = stringValue.replace("\n","\\n");

  }

  return str;

  }

Best Regards

Hi Dennis,

The renderer uses writeEscaped so '\n' turns to new line.

If you add some text before and after the \n you'll see the new line. Is it OK for you?

If not, you can override the sap.m.Text control and 'escape' it the way you want.

Thanks for your answer Omri.

I do not want newline. I want to see 1\n2 displayed.

I have to have writeEscape to avoid javascript injection.
