a
b
c
I want to quickly split them into array, I did
"a
b
c".split('\n')
but I got Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

The split string should be `'\n'` and not `'/n'` – Willian Jun 06 '20 at 03:27

What do you mean a long list of item? – tcf01 Jun 06 '20 at 03:30

Invalid syntax is invalid. It is failing to parse, and `split` is never called. – Aluan Haddad Jun 06 '20 at 03:35

I mean, it should be like this: `a b c\`.split('\n') – Willian Jun 06 '20 at 03:36

The code below is my best take, without using the \n operator (there is a much easier way to do a line break in JS) in JavaScript, using a little HTML, using the HTML line break operator. This is my code:
var list = ["a", "b", "c"];
var lineBreak = "<br/>";
document.write(list[0]+lineBreak+list[1]+lineBreak+list[2]);
Is that good enough? Let me know.
