Plain text email carriage return
In plain text email, a carriage return is represented by a line break character, which is typically represented by a newline character (\n
) or a carriage return character (\r
).
In most email clients, a carriage return is automatically added at the end of each line, so you don't need to explicitly include it in your email. However, if you want to include a carriage return in your plain text email, you can use the following methods:
-
Newline character (
\n
): You can use the newline character (\n
) to create a line break. For example:Hello, World!
This will render as:
Hello, World!
-
Carriage return character (
\r
): You can use the carriage return character (\r
) to create a line break. For example:Hello\r World!
This will render as:
Hello World!
Note that some email clients may not support the carriage return character (
\r
) and may instead use the newline character (\n
) to create a line break. -
Line break (
<br>
):: You can also use the HTML line break (<br>
) in your plain text email, but this will only work if the email client supports HTML. For example:Hello<br> World!
This will render as:
Hello World!
Keep in mind that using HTML in plain text email is generally not recommended, as it can cause formatting issues and make your email more difficult to read.
