Github Gist: New Lines?
I am trying to create a gist with multiple lines of content, but not sure if this is the best way. \ n doesn't work and doesn't add two blank lines. It displays as a single line of text.
var content = 'content on\nnewline here';
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.github.com/gists',
type: 'POST',
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "token TOKEN-HERE");
},
data: '{"description": "a gist for a user with token api call via ajax","public": true,"files": {"file1.txt": {"content": "' + content + '"}}}'
}).done(function(response) {
console.log(response.id);
});
How do I change the content variable to contain newlines? I want the output to end up being rendered as .txt, so I don't think I can change the media type? Thank.
