New line and returns ignored in setMessageBody

Question

Am I doing something dumb? I can pre-fill and email ok but the \"\\r\\n\" is ignored in the emailBody:

- (void) sendEventInEmail
{
    MFMailComposeViewControlle         


        

Answer 1

If isHTML set YES \n does not work you either have to set isHTML:NO or use a HTML line break such as <br /> to enter a new line.

<p> </p> inserts a new paragraph which usually means double line break.

Try this with isHTML:YES:

[picker setMessageBody:@"1st line<br />2nd line<br />3rd line<br />and so on..." isHTML:YES]; 

If isHTML:NO just put \n

[picker setMessageBody:@"1st line\n2nd line\n3rd line\nand so on..." isHTML:NO]; 

It will give you this:

1st line
2nd line
3rd line
and so on...

Answer 2

Doh... been working too hard and mixing Objective C strings with HTML. Used <p> and </p> tags to fix.
