GWT Label widgets iterprets everything as text, not as html tags – that’s good, but I would like it to interpret \n as a <br /> how do i do that.

I would make subclass, but I cant find what to override to achieve this behaviour

(I could use HTML widget, but it would interpret all tags – and all I need is an line brak)

    Use an HTML widget and set its value using a SafeHtml constructed with SafeHtmlBuilder.appendEscapedLines:

    HTML label = new HTML(new SafeHtmlBuilder().appendEscapedLines("foo<bar\nbaz>quux").toSafeHtml());

    (alternatively, you can split("\n", -1) your text, call SafeHtml.htmlEscape on each part and join them back with a <br>, that’s what appendEscapedLines does)
