I am practicing javascript using google chrome developer console. As per my knowledge we use \ to write in multiple lines on document with Javascript. I try to write 

document.write("Hello world \ How are you?");

But it simply displays "Hello world How are you". I was expecting Hello world and How are you in different lines.

the browser uses HTML to display stuff.
In HTML you make a new line using <br/> (or <br> or </br>) for "break row".
If you want to break it into two lines, use this tag instead of \n.

  • @GaneshDev So here is the thing: If you write `\n` in js, it would result in a linebreak in that string indeed. So if you want to print it out to the console, you can write `console.log("Hello \nWorld")` and it indeed would result in two separate lines. If you use document.write("Hello \nWorld") it indeed would result in a linebreak inside the source-code (!). You can check that by pressing Ctrl+U and looking it up in the source code. However, the browser will ingnore this, as he only interprets markup-tags. So you need to use `
    ` if you want a linebreak on your webpage. Greets!     – Syntac Oct 08 '16 at 05:27
  • Yes you are correct. I was searching for pure javascript for multiple lines without using html. – Ganesh Devkate Oct 08 '16 at 05:43
  • @GaneshDev So hope you got your answer now? Or still any questions? – Syntac Oct 08 '16 at 05:44
