Create a Line break in the Identity Status Message

Question

I would like to create a line break in the status message. This is the code I have tried but it wont create a new Line. I am using the Status Message that is used in Identity in Asp.net Razor.

On the cshtml page

<partial name="Status Message" model="Model.Status Message" /> 

on the same page I added the following to the scripts

 <p style="white-space: pre-line">@Model.StatusMessage</p>

on the .cs page

if(user.WeeklyReminders  != Input.WeeklyReminders)
{
StatusMessage = "Weekly Reminders email Notifications have been changed. \n";
}
StatusMessage += "Sent";

Results is: Weekly Reminders email Notifications have been changed. Sent

I also tried +Enviroment.NewLine(); With the same result.

I want it to be Weekly Reminders email Notifications have been changed.
Sent.

Thanks

It took me a while to realise what was happening and it really bothered me I could not break and debug what was going on.

You are talking about the Identity Status Message and it does not use the shared _StatusMessage.html, but it has its own version. You first have to scaffold it (or copy the shared version to Areas\Identity\Pages\Account\_StatusMessage.cshtml) before you can edit it.

If you wrap the status message in a <div> with the correct white-space, it works as expected and the newlines in your string are honoured:

@model string

@if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model))
{
    var statusMessageClass = Model.StartsWith("Error") ? "danger" : "success";
    <div class="alert alert-@statusMessageClass alert-dismissible" role="alert">
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>
        <div style="white-space: pre-line">@Model</div>
    </div>
}

I know of two methods you can try both and see which you understand

StatusMessage = "Weekly Reminders email Notifications have been changed. \x0A";

or just simply try this

StatusMessage = "Weekly Reminders email Notifications have been changed.";
StatusMessage = "\r\n";
StatusMessage = "Sent";
