Line break in text box?

I want to add a line break in a text box in Qlik Sense.  Any ideas how to do that?  The text box doesn't seem to respect html or ascii.  It just shows that code as text.

Chr(10) or chr(13) don't work. 

there is a limitation and the answear is not the reponsible design

Hi, 

For all users using Qlik on Windows, we need to add both \r\n (carriage return and newline characters) to obtain a new line.

Thus we need to add both chr(10) & chr(13) in the same order. For example:
='abc' &  Chr(10) &  Chr(13) & 'def'

in the SAAS products I do not see any way to get to the expression fx button for the TEXT in the text chart.   can only edit it in the GRID using the built in editor.  so, I cant see a way to do what this post recommends.  if anyone knows how to do it in SAAS or QCG using the newest TEXT chart, please share a screenshot
