very basic html question

786snow · Feb 8, 2007

Hi,

I see this code

Code:

 public static String ETRADE_APP_RECEIVED_WELCOME_MESSAGE_PART1 
= 
"<html>\n" +
"<body>\n" +
"<p align=\"center\"><b>Welcome to  Gooty</b></p>\n" +
"<br>" +
"<p>Hello,</p>" +

"<p>Congratulations and welcome to Gooty</p>\n" +
"<p>Our trading and investing solutions combine our very best in 
design, technology and product innovation to give investors like you one of 
the most compelling combinations of price, product and service.</p>\n" +
"<p>Our new clear and simple pricing offers extraordinary value 
unmatched by the competition.  Finally U.S.-style pricing has come to 
Gooty</p>\n";

This is a string which will be used for sending an email. My question is why are the using \n?

That's Java's newline character. It will mean your code will look nicely laid out if anyone views the source... but the mail client won't care if it's there or not.
