Line Breaks in Long Text Flutter

Question

How can I create line breaks within a long Text widget?

For example, I am creating a biographical page about myself. And I have three paragraphs I want to be able to dis

Answer 1

I'm assuming you already have some way in the original text to tell that there should be a line break such as \n. If your paragraph is something like: var text = "paragraph1\n\nparagraph2";, you could do something like the following:

var split = text.split('\n').map((i) {
  if (i == "") {
    return Divider();
  } else {
    return Text(i);
  }
}).toList();
var displayElement = Column(children: split);

returning the displayElement, which will have a divider element between each paragraph.
