Supply new line character from data field

I need to pass new line character in the form of chr(10) or \n through the text field in my data.

I DO NOT want to use chr(10) in the Qlik expressions. Instead I want Qlik to recognize the newline in my data field that I upload or pass on to Qlik for display.

e.g. when I pass below text as my data field

'there is a need to increase sales \n data'

should appear as:

there is a need to increase sales

data

#newline

There is no way until unles you are using some HTML tags. Check the possibility If you cna bypass the HTML in your object? Do you feel something bad using Chr(10)?

Would be great if you could provide an example of how to use HTML tags for this purpose.

I need to pass on large text with description that have one or more paragraphs or bullets. This is a supporting documentation for some numbers I need to display alongside.

I want to display this text in the Text& Image box.

You can't do in Text & Image box. Since it is only text I would use rather Widget?

Added widget like

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
Line1 </Br>
Line2
</P>
</BODY>
</HEAD>
</HTML>

I am not able to try this solution since being business user some options like widget creation is disabled for me. Will try once I have access to widgets. Thanks for your help.
