I am editing metadata via a VB.NET Addin. Update information comes from ASCII files and I am and looking for a way to insert new lines.
In this simple example the ASCII text provided might look like: "Administrator: Person A"
Using the IXmlPropertySet2 interfacemy code looks something like this:
Dim sName As String = "mdContact/rpPosName"
Dim sValue As Object = "Administrator: \r\n Person A" 'update string with escape sequence added
XmlPropertySet2.SetPropertyX(sName, sValue, esriXmlPropertyType.esriXPTText, esriXmlSetPropertyAction.esriXSPAAddOrReplace, False)
Setting the property type to esriXPTText suggests that the value parameter (sValue in this example) should be a string. However any escape characters inserted in the string are not interpreted correctly and instead are shown as normal text in the metadata viewer. Being at a loss what the correct escape character might be I tried quite a variety: <\r\n> <br>, 
 <br> \r\n
I have seen the somewhat similar thread https://community.esri.com/thread/213315-new-line-in-metadata-summary-description but this does not fit my problem.
Any ideas how to insert new lines?
