why doesn't "\n" work?

Question

var i=20;
do {
document.write(i);
document.write("\n")
document.write("<br/>");
i++;
}
while (i<=25);

//doesn't JS support "\n"?

Answer 1

No, it's HTML who doesn't support it :
document.write adds to the HTML page the string passed as its parameters and HTML doesn't support break lines with \n but with <br />
and \n won't render because JS will first evaluate the unicode then will render a simple new line
