Thank you for the reply.
Sorry, i guess i wasnt clear. I was referring to strings.properties in the webform. I am using annotations[alf:label] in my xsd and i define the labels/values in strings.properties. I've added newline character \n in one of the values in strings.properties file.

I also tried doing the <br/> and it doesnt seem to work. Thanks for your help.
