Is there a way to specify line breaks in Text("") ? @twostraws describes multiline string variables at https://www.hackingwithswift.com/sixty/1/3/multi-line-strings , but I would like to avoid additional variables, and put the line-breaked sentences directly in Text(""). The following does not work :

Text("""
Instructions :                                              // line break
1. Hover to see hint.                                       // line break
2. Scroll mouse wheel up to hear slow pronunciation.        // line break
3. Scroll mouse wheel down to hear fast pronunciation.      // line break
""")  // 😱 Compiles okay, but does not display as intended 😱

Does Swift allow a way to do this?

Thank you.

You can also do Text("Hello \n World"). The \n new line and \r carriage return have been around a while. Not just common to SwiftUI.

@roosterboy Thanks for checking. I originally thought the syntax was causing the following problem ( only 1 line desplayed, and extra ellipsis is also displayed ) :

But you're right the syntax should work as intended as you tested. I eventually isolated the problem to the other VStack() above. I don't know why this would cause a problem - I will do some more testing and make a new question post if needed. But for now, the good thing is that - after removing the other VStack() - the multiline syntax works as follows :

@GeorgeMCSwifter Thanks, I can use this also.
