If I add a <br> in a text element, the <br> is just displayed without creating a new line. How can I instruct the text in the text element to move to the next line?

You should be able to just press Enter when entering the text in the box

And how can I do it from a formula?

I'm not sure on your setup or how the data is coming in
But a 'simple' one could be to use 2 text nodes
I don't know if I would go that route but I haven't ran across this issue 🤔
Line breaks happen as normal for me

I have dynamic data that needs to be displayed in one <text> element. How do I add a <br> or <goToNextLine> to it? In HTML its <br>, in other languages its sometimes /n. Look at this sample: This works great: https://files.taxi/patrick/zucCihyd.png But, how can we do this in a formula: https://files.taxi/patrick/9ZskQTCB.png

Yeah this is unfortunately not possible atm. A work around I use is to create a variable called line break. You can add a line break as the default value.

Hey @Andreas Møller, thanks! I'm not 100% understanding your sugested solution. I tries like this but dod not work:
You could use the replace node to replace all <br> with the content of your variable. This should work

Hey @Max, please try this sample app: https://start-text_on_next_line.toddle.site/ For testing purpose, it has a variable "Test_Text" that holds the text to display. I tried with "Replace all", but as you can see, the lines are not printed below each other:

If it's that much text you could probably also just use an HTML block

Hey @Lucas G, yes, I tried. But the downside of the HRML block is that it's hard to configure. It only has one global setting for its colors for example.

Ah I see
I have my own but if it's a package then yeah I could see it being tough to have a lot of customization

Hey @Max, can you show me whats inside the LINE_BREAK var? I tried the same with a "space" as the contents of the variable LINE_BREAK, but does not work here 🙂 Normally, this should be oh so much easier 😉

His line break variable is just "Enter"

This is just "Enter"
Ah, @Lucas G was faster again 😉

lol
Also, perhaps try cloning the package so you can give it your own configs
