Hi,

What character can I use if I want a forced line break in the string that I paste in a text.contents.
If I insert a forced line break in InDesign (Shift + Enter), and then select, copy and paste that part into a Unicode editor(Unipad) it gives the forced line break character as unicode character u2028.
But when I try to use it in the string, InDesign shows the character not found glyph highlighted in pink.
I use the same sollution for other special characters, and for those it works just fine.

here is the function I to use to replace the tags I get in the content for utf8 characters.

function tagToUTF8( pi_text)
{
var text = pi_text;

text = text.replace(/<\\h>/gi, "\u00AD"); 	//soft hyphen
text = text.replace(/<\\d>/gi, "\u2028"); 	//forced line break
text = text.replace(/<\\t>/gi, "\u0009");	//tab
text = text.replace(/<\\s>/gi, "\u0020");	//space
text = text.replace(/<\\!s>/gi, "\u00A0");	//non breaking space
text = text.replace(/<\\->/gi, "\u002D");	//hyphen
text = text.replace(/<\\!->/gi, "\u2011");	//non breaking hyphen

return text;
}

Thanx Erik
