    Hello @Stephan_B
    After upgrade to TMP 2.1.6 i noticed that '\\n' and '\\t' was not converted anymore to linebreak or spacement.

    Maybe this is by design?

    Best regards

    Both "\\n" and "\\t" in a string means to escape those control sequences. As such, the text should be displayed as "\" + "n" and "\" + "t".

    "\n" - Linefeed and "\t" = tab.

    Are these "\\n" and "\\t" text you enter in the Text Input Box or in a public field or in a string?
