You can achieve that using CSS.

// Java
myLabel.addStyleName("mystyle");

// CSS
.v-label-mystyle {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    }

I try that solution but it is notworking for me.

I created label like this:


new Label(element.getFormattedText(), Label.CONTENT_RAW);

And getFormattedText method replace all \r?\n by
. After this, i added label to VerticalLayout and is working properly.

I dont know if it’s the best solution, but is working,

Thks.

Leave out the Label.CONTENT_RAW) and it should work with the custom style name (we use this method in the Directory add-on description texts). But your solution is working as well, so choose the one you want.
