UiBinder multi-line tool tip not possible?

[Patrick Tucker]

I'm trying to set the title on an element in UiBinder with a carriage
return or line feed in it, which is valid in JavaScript.

For example, the following code works:
element.setTitle("Line 1.\r\nLine2.");

When I put the same text into the title attribute in a UiBinder
element, the text is written exactally as seen, on the same line.

How do we go about displaying a multi-line tool tip in UiBinder?

Thanks,
Pat

"\r\n" is a notation to write these otherwise-forbidden-in-a-Java-String-literal chars. UiBinder is XML, so you need a similar notation for XML: 
 should do it (but maybe just using a CRLF in your XML would do it actually).

Disclaimer: this is theory, I didn't tried it.

I had tried the escape for both of them, unfortunately the compiler
doesn't like them and errors. Sorry, I should have mentioned it in
the original post.

[ERROR] Line 32: String literal is not properly closed by a double-
quote

I'm assuming it converts them to an actual carriage return or line
feed when they should be converted to something else.

Thanks for your response,
Pat
