Rendering text that includes newline character

Question

I'm trying to render the following in my controller:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Currently it looks like this:

User-agent: *Disallow: /

def robots
  output = "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /"   #this is wrong I know...
  render text: output
end

How can I include the newline character?

Answer 1

Make sure that you use double quotes render :text => "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /"
