Woodstock table: Displaying carriage returns in value expression

Hi,

I am trying to create a Woodstock table in VWP that uses multiple fields in a single column.  One way of doing this is by using a value expression in the table layout for that column:



However, I need to separate each item on a separate line which I don't think a Value Expression supports.  I looked into adding multiple static text items into the table cell and bind these individually but can't seem to control the layout if I do this - only Group Panel appears to be supported (i.e. flow layout) and this doesn't give me what I need.  Any ideas of how to format this?

Thanks,
Louis

Append an HTML "<br/>" tag to the string returned by the value expression.  If you use a static text component to include the HTML tag, set the escape property to false.
