EDIT: IT WORKS, I just didn’t have connection to thunkable site I did this ![From x.thunkable.com](https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/74e59dae-9dbc-4677-b0c8-ae50bf665527.png?embedded=og) after manually inserting this ![From console.firebase.google.com](https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/f7ca666f-b9e0-491b-ad0c-4a55b562434c.png?embedded=og) cause with the thunkable save command it didn’t do it, and i had to change it from `\\n` to \n, but unfortunately it’s not working, could it be a design issue? I don’t know but don’t think so ---

I’m not sure - I tried to create a local version of this this morning (so that you wouldn’t need the Firebase component) but it wouldn’t work. I’m haven’t tried this approach myself, so I’m not sure if it even works anymore, perhaps @Danny_Smoka can shed some light on this for us? ---

I just found out that i had no real connetion to the thunkable site, so all the job was not actually updating, I’ll try again the json one first ---

The firebase database one works, and the JSON one too, so since it’s better and does not require an internet connection i’ll use the JSON one, i just didn’t have connection T\_T thanks everybody ---

Hey @Danny_Smoka, Thanks for sharing such a useful work-around with the community. Hopefully you’ll be pleased to learn that we’ve now released a dedicated `newline` block to make everyone’s lives easier. > [@Tips for working with text](http://community.thunkable.com/t/tips-for-working-with-text/154482/5): > > New Line As the name implies, the newline block allows you to put text onto a new line, i.e. it creates a line break in a string. You can use as many newline blocks as you need to in your projects. [newline] Example 1 In this first example we just put a line break in between the two strings. This means that “hello” is on the first line and “world” is below that on the second line. [newline\_example] Example 2 In this second example, you have a list of things and you want to display them all… cc: @maxb @abedo @cian_o_sullivan @Ingrid_Spessotti @actech @User81 @Ana_Dan ---
