How to create a new line in the output (JavaScript Gui)

Question

For example:

Output.setText("Number of Cars = "+cQuantity
        + "Number of Trucks = " +tQuantity

How would I have the trucks to go on a separate line in the output on the Gui? Sorry, I am new to coding.

This depends entirely on the output context. Is this in an HTML document or a console? — apsillers, Oct 21 '15 at 17:36
What does your `setText` function do? Are you sure this isn't a Java question? — j08691, Oct 21 '15 at 17:38
Not only "what does your setText do" but also, What exactly is `Output`? — Stephen P, Oct 21 '15 at 19:15

You may use the \n escape character, or in ES6 you may use template strings:

console.log('Hello \n World');

console.log(`Hello
World`);

Both of these will yield the same result:

Hello
World

If you are planning to output the text to html, you could include a <br/> tag:

document.getElementById('element').innerHTML ='Hello<br/>World';
