How do I put a carriage return in JASS typed strings?

The following JASS code produces output with a |n displayed on the screen rather than a carriage return (end-of-line) like I want. How can I get the carriage return?

JASS:

            call QuestMessageBJ( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[4], bj_QUESTMESSAGE_COMPLETED, "Mission Accomplished: |cffff9900The Barracks Headmasters|r|n Telemar Ne'Fiin and Jal'Vin Elas have been incapacitated.  Aszune will now administer the water of eternity." )

Krysho	Probably \n or perhaps \r\n I know I've seen it work for game messages used in JASS, not sure about quest messages, but the idea seems the same.

Just do it on another line, Wc3 parser still allows it, example:

JASS:

function MyFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    call QuestMessageBJ( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[4], bj_QUESTMESSAGE_COMPLETED, "Mission Accomplished: |cffff9900The Barracks Headmasters|r
Telemar Ne'Fiin and Jal'Vin Elas have been incapacitated.  Aszune will now administer the water of eternity." )
endfunction

WNxCryptic	Can't you also use \|n ?

chobibo	hey guys just wanted to ask the difference between the carriage return and the \|n, sorry if its inappropriate to ask.

Vexorian	\|n doesn't work all the time when using strings in JASS and is the only way of doing it in tooltips (unless you edit the tooltip with a text editor)
