. Why isn't this string rendered in multiple lines?

Question

This code is not being rendered in multiple lines even though I have used JavaScript template literals. Why is it so?

document.write(`Today is: ${day} 
             The time now is: ${hours} : ${minutes} hrs 
             The year is: ${year}`);

The document is interpreted as HTML. Newlines in HTML are functionally equivalent to spaces. — Pointy, Sep 23 '21 at 13:28

you are missing a new line character. or a <br> The break is for html line breaks. add one or two to get what you want.

Thanks for the feedback. the line break
worked but the new line character \n didn't work. Is there an explanation behind it? – Ian Sep 23 '21 at 13:33
