I am using regular expression for preventing any html tags to be entered in text box on client side. It is:

[RegularExpression("^(?!.*<[^>]+>).*"

But when I want to have new line by enter key, it also triggers notification. Any idea how to make it accept multi line input?

`"^(?![\s\S]*<[^>]+>)[\s\S]*"` – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 07 '17 at 23:05
It doesn't accept "\s\S" : `Error CS1009 Unrecognized escape sequence` – Hadee Dec 07 '17 at 23:24

You just must use a literal ``\`` symbol. Double it inside a string literal. `"^(?![\\s\\S]*<[^>]+>)[\\s\\S]*"` – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 07 '17 at 23:29
