Include line feed in xpath text field

I have a number of nodes I want to reference and concatenate together and place them on different lines when displayed.   concat(stu-name,stu-id) displays both fields fine.  I want them to display on different lines though.  I have unsucessfully tried \n, <br/>, chr(10), hex representation and at least 4 other representations to no avail (ex:  concat(stu-name,'\n',stu-id) ).  

This reference has been created on the 'Database service' option in Form builder,
under the 'Set Response Control Values' section, with the destination control set to a text output object.

Hi Mary,

Are you saying that you'd like the concatenated values to be shown as the value of a Text output control? I am afraid there is no easy way to do this. You could use a Formatted Text control, and set its calculated value to concat($stu-name,  '<br/>', $stu-id). But only use this if you're sure that $stu-name and $stu-id cannot be entered by end users, otherwise this can open the door to injections.

Hi Alex,

Yes - It is being referenced in the Action Editor under the 'Set Response Control Values'.  It is the Source XPath expression where this is being referenced.

I have tried '<br/>' as well as /n, \n, chr(10), &#xA and numerous others to no avail.

Thanks
Mary
