How to format text field with @NewLine

Hi All,

I have a computed field with the following formula:

var numbers = "";
numbers = empDocument.getItemValueArray( "EmpNumbersAll" );
numbers = @Implode(numbers,"<br>");
if( numbers == null )
{
numbersR = "None";
}else
{
numbersR = numbers;
}
numbersR;

The string that displays is 847.555.1212<br>212.555.1212

All I want to do is put each entry on a new line. I've tried using @NewLine instead of "<br>". Can't seem to get it to format the way I want. Any ideas?

Changed the field type to HTML and used <br>

Re: How to format text field with @NewLine

i had a similar prblem when i wanted to add previous action in a history field with every previous action starting from new line.

i hope this might work...

var i= dominoDocument1.getItemValue("itemName")+"/n";

dominoDocument1.replaceItemValue("itemName");

dominoDocument1.save();
