Yes, though I think your problem is more tied to the combination of the newline and Html.fromHtml(). \n works. However, I think that will be converted into a space by Html.fromHtml(). You might try <br> instead of the XHTML <br/> and see if that helps. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
