    <p>I'm loading some help text from a plist and displaying the same in the form of UILabels housed in a UIScrollView. Portion of the code follows:</p> <p><code></p> <pre><code> UILabel *sectionDetailLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(34, myOriginForThisSection, 286, 20)] autorelease]; sectionDetailLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; sectionDetailLabel.numberOfLines = 0; sectionDetailLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]; sectionDetailLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; sectionDetailLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft; sectionDetailLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap; [baseScrollView addSubview:sectionDetailLabel]; [sectionDetailLabel setText:myStringForThisSection]; [sectionDetailLabel sizeToFit]; </code></pre> <p></code></p> <p>While any 'long' text is getting wrapped into multiple lines correctly, I'm unable to manually insert any line-breaks using newline '\n' characters in 'myStringForThisSection'. I only see the characters '\' and 'n' printed in the UILabel wherever I wanted the line-break, instead.</p> <p>I looked this up and the general consensus seemed to be that setting numberOfLines to 0, setting the lineBreakMode to a valid value and invoking sizeToFit (or setting the frame of the UILabel based on sizeWithFont:) should do. All of which I seem to be doing in the code above - and works perfectly when fitting long strings of unknown length into multiple lines on the UILabel. So what could be missing here?</p> <p>Note: All the variables used - baseScrollView, myStringForThisSection and myOriginForThisSection - were loaded before the above code began executing, and work fine.</p>

    1. COIf the string comes from an external source, this will happen. If it's declared/created in the code (maybe even possibly in a plist), the newline will be encoded as such. A newline must be followed by space, if that line is a blank line, though.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
