How to make a new line in raphael JS text?

Question

I was trying to use <br> and \\n , but it seems not to work inside text in raphael js.

I need it to be inside one text, because I am using multiple resize effects in different languages (one language has three lines and one 4 lines).

My code that is not working:

var mytext = paper.text(150, 250, "Line1<br>Line2");

Answer 1

It works with \\n , see a live demo on jsFiddle , illustrating this.

Also have a look at the Raphaël reference , here's a pullquote from the entry on text() :

Draws a text string. If you need line breaks, put “\\n” in the string.
