Why is this not creating a newline?

node.textContent = "You lost!\n";
node.textContent += input.textContent + " loses to " + convertNumber(computerSelection);

I want a new line to be created after the "You lost!" part. Any help?

HTML does not honor line breaks unless you have an element like a textarea. You need to use HTML tags like a br element. – epascarello Jul 06 '22 at 20:09
Thanks, is there a way I can add this in JS or do I have to create 2 different elements on my HTML? – Lorenzo Zabot Jul 06 '22 at 20:11
The new line *is* in the text that's produced, but, right, HTML does not *render* "\n" as a visual line break. Does `
` work for you? – bloodyKnuckles Jul 06 '22 at 20:13

@epascarello CSS will be sufficient. – Bergi Jul 06 '22 at 20:26
