Newline in string

Solar2D Lua Language

I have this:

display.newText( “ksdfhksdj \n jahkjash”, 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 22 )    

\n makes a newline in Android but in iOS it doesn’t work. In simulator the text is all in one line and in the phone there is no text at all.

How should i make new line that would work on both platforms?

We only process newlines when display.newText() is in multi-line mode.  You need to specify a total width for the string so we know where to start wrapping.  In that case, newline’s will be handled as expected.
