Q1752 Can JavaScript use newline characters to format the output?

Yes. Although if you do not use the pre tag the output will simply ignore the newline character. Try for example:

<pre>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write('1\n2\n3\n4\n5');
//--></script>
</pre>

or:

<pre>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.writeln('1');
document.writeln('2');
document.writeln('3');
document.writeln('4');
document.writeln('5');
//--></script>
</pre>
