If you want to directly use the text you can use something :
<TextArea prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="200.0" text="${'Multi\nLine\tTab'}" />
In case you want to use in Scene Builder, you can switch to multi-line mode.
Switching to multi-line mode, scene builder will insert:
for \n
	 for \t

Those are Line Feed characters. For more information, go through [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3025265/what-does-unicode-character-10-represent). – ItachiUchiha May 17 '17 at 19:45

Got it, instead of using `'\n'` I need to use `' '`. Then `fx:value="Multi line"` and then I can use this variable like: `text="$LABEL_01"`. – Pochmurnik Jan 15 '19 at 11:59
