Extra spacing in strings with CDATA

I need to display some strings that require both different font colors and arguments within.

I've been using CDATA within the string resources and HtmlCompat.fromHtml e.g

<string name="my_string"><![CDATA[My string counts <font color="#FF544B">%s times</font> but sadly \n\n no spacing]]></string>

HtmlCompat.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.my_string, count), HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT)

My problem is that \n\n doesn't create the extra new line/spacing I need.

I know I can solve this problem by having two different strings with two TextViews and add that spacing between them but there should be a way to add extra new lines/spacing within [CDATA[...]], right?

Since you are using `HtmlCompat.fromHtml` what about `
` instead `\n` ? – Selvin Mar 23 '23 at 10:08

also "spacing" is misleading ... you should rather use "new line", as "spacing", in case of text, rather means horizontal (space, tabulator) – Selvin Mar 23 '23 at 10:11
`
` worked, thank you! – petrrr33 Mar 23 '23 at 10:43
