Hi,

 

Try using <apex:outputText value="{!Testvariable}" escape="false"/>

 

Please mark it as solution and give Kudos if it helps.

I am using label(Html Tag) instead of output text.Is it possible in label tag to get the answer?

If you are using <label> then use <br/> instead of \n.

<apex:page controller="Test" >
<apex:outputlabel value="{!Testvariable}" escape="false" ></apex:outputlabel>

public string Testvariable{get;set;}
public Test (){
Testvariable = 'Male<br/><br/>Female';
}
}

Please keep in mind that "\n" will have no effect unless you are using a white-space CSS element (e.g. "pre", or any element with a style that preserves line breaks). That said, you do not need to "escape" the output at all; it's simply a matter of treating the white space with the respect it deserves:

 

<apex:page controller="page1">
<apex:outputLabel style="white-space: pre-line" value="{!testString}"/>
</apex:page>

 

public with sharing class page1 {
    public string testString { get { return 'Line 1\nLine 2'; } }
}
