Special Newline Characters

The %%LF%% Sequence

If you are integrating with a service that makes it difficult to send literal newline characters (\n) in the submission data, you can use this special sequence of characters: %%LF%%

DocSpring will automatically replace any instances of %%LF%% with a newline character (\n) in the submission data.

Note

You will still see %%LF%% if you view the “Data” tab for a Submission or in the API Request Logs. We will make the %%LF%% → \n substitution immediately before inserting the data into your PDF template.

Example

If your integration sends:

{
  "address": "123 Main Street%%LF%%Suite 100%%LF%%New York, NY 10001"
}

DocSpring will render it in the PDF as:

123 Main Street
Suite 100
New York, NY 10001
