line break and document.write problem.

Sometimes I need to copy a long text and use document.write to write the text but the problem is that for every line I have to add a new document.write. for example this wouldn't work -"unteminated string literal" error -:

document.write("this is line one.
this is line 2.
this is line 3.");

PHP:

so I have to code it like this:

document.write("this is line one");
document.write("this is line  two");
document.write("this is line three");

PHP:

Somebody suggested the following but it has the same problem;

var someText = "this is line one.
this is line two.
this is line three.";

document.write(someText);

PHP:

Is there a command or something that I use and don't need to add that document.write for every single line?

 

This is so simple, you're going to kick yourself for not thinking of it

document.write("this is line one.<br>this is line two.<br>this is line three.");

Thanks for reply but this is not what I wanted. I bring an example, lets say you have this text on a webpage:

This is line one.
this is line two.
...
This is line five hundred.

PHP:

Now you copythis 500 lines and want to use document.write to print it, you wouldn't want to go all the way an add a "<br>" to the end of each line and delete the carriage return.

This won't work...

document.write("this is line one.

this is line 2.

this is line 3."); 

Code (markup):

but this will...

document.write("this is line one." +

"this is line 2." +

"this is line 3."); 

Code (markup):

Also, if you want to add the literal "newline" character just use \n in your string.
