///NEED HELP/// New Line in Documentation

Hi, I need some help.I would like to know how you separate a paragraph into different lines. i.e.username: bull, name: andy.into:username: bull,name:andy.I would like to have it render in separate lines when viewing documentation using the activiti explorer.what is the code to do this in the bpmn20.

You could try using an XHTML line break:
<br/>In order to get it through the BPMN parser, you might have to declare an XML namespace prefix for XHTML:
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"…and use that prefix for the br element:
<xhtml:br/>
btw: interesting nickname

Hey,

I have the same problem in activiti 5.7 and 5.8 and tried the solution mentioned above, sadly it doesn't seem to work.

The line breaks don't show in the explorer and I can only add one line break in the documentation tag, after that I get an error while uploading the process.

"cvc-complex-type.2.4.d:Ungültiger Content wurde beginnend mit "xhtml:br" gefunden. An dieser Stelle wird kein untergeorndetes Element erwartet."

Any ideas? Did I miss anything?

Maybe try to enclose the entire documentation text inside a CDATA section. This way any tags in the text will be ignored by the XML parser.

That doesn't work either, because it doesn't know that <br/> or <xhtml:br/> isn't part of the text. I tried to put <activiti:field name="html"> in it to, but then there is no documention shown at all.

Should I open an JIRA Issue for that or is there something else I could try?

thanks, that did the job.

Well, apparently arschloch1989 found a solution.

@arschloch1989:
Would you mind posting some example code, so that Lisa can see exactly how you got it to work?

Hi,

it didn't render a new line in the explorer, but when i clicked on the documentation in the explorer it was rendered on new lines, thats all I wanted, so it didn't really fix the problem.

To be honest, that's not what I expect and need. I need a linebreak without the need to click in the documentationfield first.

Hey there,

I took the liberty to create a JIRA Issue for it. You can find it here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1009

Hello I have the same Problem, there is nothing in your link which could help me.
Are there maybe some other possibilities to get more then one line ?
