Insert Line Break to VisualForce page

How do I insert a Line break to a visualforce page?

I've tried <br/> /p \n /n

I'm also using apex:outputPanel in our decision letter and haven't found a way to insert some breaks.

Hi Sherry,

Workaround is you may use PRE tags, or <apex:outputField> instead of <apex:outputText>.  Check below references.

https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/185256/apex-new-line-in-conditional

Else you can use something like below.

Controller: 
public class SFController{  
    public String myVariable {get;set;}  
    public SFController(){  
        myVariable = 'Sales Cloud' + '\n' + 'Service Cloud' + '\n' + 'Community Cloud';  
    }  
}

VF: 
<apex:page controller="SFController">   
    <apex:outputLabel value="{!SUBSTITUTE(JSENCODE(myVariable), '\\n', '<br/>')}" escape="false"/ >   
</apex:page>

Hope above information was helpful.
