Question

I am using a UITextView in Interface Builder and have typed a hunk of text into it and there are lots of lines breaks in it, blank lines. I did this by typing into it and alt-returning to get a new line.

However when built and run on my device none of these line breaks are seen. Any tips? Anyone heard of this?

Thanks.

This works for me:

In the header file:

IBOutlet UITextView * textview;

In the implementation file:

textview.text = @"First line\nSecond line\n\nThere is a blank line above\n\tTabbed line";

Don’t forget to link the UITextView with the element in the Interface Builder.
