Inserting newlines in Word using OpenXML

Question

I am using openxml WordProcessingDocument to open a Word template and replace placeholder x1 with a string. This works fine unless I need the string to contain a newline.

Answer 1

To insert newlines, you have to add a Break instance to the Run.

Example:

run.AppendChild(new Text("Hello"));
run.AppendChild(new Break());
run.AppendChild(new Text("world"));

The XML produced will be something like:

  Hello
  
  world
