Question

This could be a silly or stupid question, but how do I enter a carriage return (crlf) in the text of a Wix Text Control?

I tried:

<Control Type="Text">
    <Text>Text goes here</Text>
    <Text>Another text goes here</Text>
</Control>

But of course wix says that I cannot have more than one Text element inside a control tag.

Any ideas? I’m pretty sure is something easy to do but my google foo is failing right now.

Answer 1

The answer was easier than expected and was in front of me all this time… Using CDATA is the way to do it…

So, doing a return car in a text control is just matter of enclosing the text in CDATA, for example:

<Control Type="Text">
<Text><![CDATA[
This is my text.
With a return line
]]>
</Text>
</Control>

Looks like there could be more ways to do it, but I found that one the simpler.
