    When I try to make a new line on a TextMeshPro, it's displaying "\n" instead of a new line.

    EDIT: To make a new line, just do this: TheString.Replace("\\n", "\n");

    This should work fine provided the string is defined in code and not in a public field.

    See the following thread for a detailed explanation.

    Yes, it was not a good example.
    What I do is getting the text on a server, it contains "sometext\nsometext".
    So the whole text is considered as text by Unity.

    => So, to make a new line, I just have to do this: TheString.Replace("\\n", "\n");
