I have a very long string I want to split in 2 lines ,

I use \r\n and  wrote :

current web browser,\r\n but you may experience display issues or
other difficulties."

but this doesn't split the line ... ( tried also the html tag <br /
>... no way )
hope the answer will be a New Year gift ..

Happy New Year  2011

I can't find a way to insert a line break in yaml files. I only have 
yaml in one project where \n really makes a new line. No matter how I 
try they never appear. I've followed the documentation and tried all 
possible ways but nothing.

There must be a trick, encoding or something, but I can't see the 
difference between the one that works and the other.

So frustrating!

There is nothing better to progress with something than writing to a 
forum and complain.

I used \n in the yaml. In the view it was not showing the line break. 
Then I check the generated html and actually in the code there was a 
line break. I put the text within a <pre> tag and now the view shows the 
line break again. I think I'm still missing something but can at least 
move from here.
