Text Formatting \n included in output instead of line break

When using this code in RStudio (as an example):

print("Hello\n World")

I get Hello\n World as the output instead of a line break. Any ideas why?

Thank you!

Use cat()instead of print().

> cat("Hello \n World")
Hello 
 World

Another option is using writeLines:

writeLines("Hello\n World")
#> Hello
#>  World
