I have an XML file and I would like to make a new line in the text "Sample Text 123" like this
Sample Text 123
I've tried already everything I mean 


\n
but nothing works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <item> <text>Address</text> <data> Sample 
 Text 123 </data> </item>
Use <br> tags to force line breaks on screen.
XML does not require a specific form of line break, so you can use whatever is convenient (carriage return, linefeed, or a combination) when creating an XML file. XML parsers will do the right thing largely because they're parsing on tags, not records - so whatever line break you're using is just whitespace to XML.
To add spacing between lines or paragraphs of text in a cell, use a keyboard shortcut to add a new line. Click the location where you want to break the line. Press ALT+ENTER to insert the line break.
XML Stores New Line as LF Windows applications store a new line as: carriage return and line feed (CR+LF). Unix and Mac OSX use LF. Old Mac systems use CR.
Whether this helps will depend upon application-defined semantics of one or more stages in the pipeline of XML processing that the XML passes through. A newline (aka line break or end-of-line, EOL) can be added much like any character in XML, but be mindful of
Text 123 </data> </item> A newline (aka line break or end-of-line, EOL) is special character or character sequence that marks the end of a line of text. The exact codes used vary across operating systems:

A line break is just a text node that contains a newline character. typeNode.appendChild (noofbedroomsNode) typeNode.appendChild (createTextNode (" ")) typeNode.appendChild (addressNode) should create a newline between the num and address node.

You can use 

for line feed (LF) or 
for carriage return (CR), and an XML parser will replace it with the respective character when handing off the parsed text to an application. These can be added manually, as you show in your example, but are particularly convenient when needing to add newlines programmatically within a string:
LF
: "
"
CR
: "
"
LF
: <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
CR
: <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
Or, if you want to see it in the XML immediately, simply put it in literally:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <item> <text>Address</text> <data> Sample Text 123 </data> </item>
Keep in mind that how an application interprets text, including newlines, is up to it. If you find that your newlines are being ignored, it might be that the application automatically runs together text separated by newlines.
HTML browsers, for example, will ignore newlines (and will normalize space within text such that multiple spaces are consolidated). To break lines in HTML,
<br/>
; ordiv
or p
which by default causes a line break after the enclosed text, or in an element such as pre
which by default typically will preserve whitespace and line breaks; orwhite-space
to control newline rendering.If an XML application isn't respecting your newlines, and working within the application's processing model isn't helping, another possible recourse is to use CDATA
to tell the XML parser not to parse the text containing the newline.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <item> <text>Address</text> <data> <![CDATA[Sample Text 123]]> </data> </item>
or, if HTML markup is recognized downstream:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <item> <text>Address</text> <data> <![CDATA[Sample <br/> Text 123]]> </data> </item>
