How to include line breaks when printing

justSteve

I'm creating cell contends like:
"mRender": function (data, type, full) {
return full.LastName + ", " + full.FirstName + "<br>" + full.BillingEmail + "<br>" + full.Institution;

When printing or exporting the <br> is not honored. I tried inserting a javascript line break char (\n) without success. Any workarounds?

You can use the scriptHtml option of buttons.exportData() to have Buttons not strip the HTML. You use the exportOptions object of the print button to set the options passed to the export method.

Someone else might find this syntax useful

            'buttons': [{
                extend: 'print',
                text: 'Print current page',
                exportOptions: {
                    stripHtml: false
                }
            }, {
                extend: 'pdf',
                text: 'Save PDF',
                exportOptions: {
                    stripNewlines: false
                }
            }
            ],
