Line Break in Label Text?

Is there a simple way to add a line break in the Label text?


    <Label
      id="Details"
      height="300"
      width="1300"
      font="font:MediumBoldSystemFont"
      text="Blah blah blah blah"
      wrap="true"
      translation="[300,600]" />

I used the global string function
 chr(10)

as noted here: https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Dialog

Example:
label.text = "first line" + chr(10) + "second line"

This works well if the content is already rendered but if its a let's say roUrlTransfer via xml file then belltown is correct.

I use the

when importing lyrics in xml format.
