How do I add a line break into a text object via javascript?

I have a script within an event block that calls an imported javascript function that is within an if statement.

This function does a few things, but among others its meant to fill the text of an object with:

let var = "Test";

let inst = runtime.objects.Object.getFirstInstance();

inst.text = "newline &" + var + "& newline";

The result I would like:

-----

Test

-----

The result I get:

-----

newline &Test& newline

-----

I have also tried Newline, /n and [br][/br], but they just get typed out.

This part is within an imported function called within an if with information that said function calculates. I know newline would work if I set the text via event, but I really wouldn't want to make 5 new global variables that I will only use once, and spread the whole thing over a bunch of other functions just because of this missing syntax. Or copy paste a large function into the scriptblock of the event.

Is there any way to add a text including new lines to a text object with javascript?

newline is a Construct expression. Those cannot be directly accessed from JavaScript.

In JavaScript, if you want a string with a newline in it, use "\n".

AHH, \n, not /n. My bad! Thank you for the quick answer!!
