Adding a newline character

I have a string array. I need to print all the strings in the array line by line in a word report through Matlab report Generation with Each string on a new line. I am not able to do it. Adding newline character '\n' generates a continuous string with the characters \n included in it. even char(10) does not work.
This is sample code
for i = 1:length(My_Array)
setParent(rptgen.cfr_text('Content',My_Array{i}), Paragraph_Block);
setParent(rptgen.cfr_text('Content',char(10)), Paragraph_Block);
Can anybody tell me what I need to do to get the right results?

How about the carriage return, char(13)?

See Andrew Newell's new post. That might be the answer. I think the "isLiteral" property might refer to "Retain space and carriage returns".
Regarding setting font for paragraph under stylesheet, I am not sure. I would guess it is possible. Just like you typing a Word document, you can always select a style first for the paragraph, then change the font of the whole or part of the paragraph later.

Unfortunately, I don't have the Report Generator, and the online documentation about the rptgen classes is not very helpful. However, I notice that in the documentation for text, one of the Style options is Retain spaces and carriage returns. If you can figure out how to set this, you might get what you want. Try typing
h = rptgen.cfr_text;
set(h)
and see what you get.
It appears that the documentation is mostly for people using the GUI interface. Have you tried using that?

I'm glad I could help with my shots in the dark! You might want to send MATLAB some feedback on their help for this subject.
