\n not working in UIlabel

Question

Hi guys, I've seen similar questions here, but still can figure out why it's not working.

How to add line break (in other words add new paragraph) in multiline UIlabel?

I have a label with a lot of text,

lbl.numberOfLines = 0;
lbl.sizeToFit;

but I'm still getting something like this: "Some text here\nAnd here I want new line"

Thank you

Answer 1

If your string is really ok, maybe you can try adding this line as well:

lbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

Answer 2

UILabel won't respect \n, You can use option-return (in Interface builder) to force where you want a line break.

You can use a UIWebView in place of the label and then you can format however you like. (And set the lineBreakMode as AngeDeLaMort says above.)
