Endline Character in XML Attribute

[Ravi]

Hi,

I want to use end line character('\n') in the XML Attribute like
<message confirm=" This will kill your process . \n Are you sure to
proceeed? "/>

But in java xml processor, it is considered as two characters "\" and
"n". I used the xml encoding type as "ISO-8859-1".

Pls any one help me on it ?
Thanks,
Ravi.

The \n syntax is just something that some programming languages like
C and Java use.

In XML you can use a character reference: .

><message confirm=" This will kill your process . \n Are you sure to
proceeed? "/>

Generally I wouldn't recommend using an attribute for messages. Why
not use something like

<message>This will kill your process.
Are you sure to proceeed?</message>
