I'm fetching text from an XML file, and I'd like to insert some new lines that are interpreted by the textblock render as new lines.
I've tried:
<data>Foo bar baz \n baz bar</data> But the data is still displayed without the new line. I set the contents of <data> via the .Text property via C#.
What do I need to put in the XML in order for it to render the new line in the GUI?
I've tried something like this manually setting the text in the XAML:
<TextBlock Margin="0 15 0 0" Width="600"> There is a new line. </TextBlock> And while the encoded character doesn't appear in the GUI it also doesn't give me a new line.

Adding Line Breaks Sometimes you will want to insert a line break within a TextBlock. You can do this with a LineBreak inline, added as an XAML element within the text. A new line will be started at the position of this element.
To draw a line, create a Line element. Use its X1 and Y1 properties to set its start point; and use its X2 and Y2 properties to set its end point. Finally, set its Stroke and StrokeThickness because a line without a stroke is invisible. Setting the Fill element for a line has no effect, because a line has no interior.
XAML attributes of type String may contain any special characters, as long as those are referenced as hex-codes. For example, a simple line break ( \n ) would be represented as 
 , for \r\n you'd use 
 and so on.
By using: \n – It prints new line. By using: \x0A or \xA (ASCII literal of \n) – It prints new line.
You can try putting a new line in the data:
<data>Foo bar baz baz bar</data> If that does not work you might need to parse the string manually.
If you need direct XAML that's easy by the way:
<TextBlock> Lorem <LineBreak/> Ipsum </TextBlock> For completeness: You can also do this:
<TextBlock Text="Line1
Line 2"/> x0A is the escaped hexadecimal Line Feed. The equivalent of \n
