JEP-355 was an excellent change brought in Java 13 as a preview to simplify the HTML code piece in Java. But, now, Java 14 has come up with a second preview in Text Blocks with two more newly added escape sequences. This change is present under JEP-368. You can download Java 14 by clicking here.

JEP 368 – Text Blocks
In Java 13, JEP 355 allows you to create a multiline string or you can say a text-block. You need to write a multiline string inside a pair of triple double-quotes. But, now, in Java 14, JEP 368 has new line & white space sequences too. Let’s check it.
Let’s see the below code that differentiates between code before Java13, In Java13 and finally IN JAVA 14
public class TextBlock {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String beforeJava13 = "<html>\n" +
" <body>\n" +
" <div>\n" +
" <p>Howdy, Techndeckers</p>\n" +
" <p>How r u?</p>\n" +
" <p>I am using version before Java 13</p>\n" +
" </div>\n" +
" </body>\n" +
"</html>\n";
String InJava13 = """
<html>
<body>
<div>
<p>Howdy, Techndeckers</p>
<p>How r u?</p>
<p>I am using version 13</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
""";
String InJava14 = """
<html>
<body>\
<div>\
<p>Howdy, \s Techndeck</p>\
<p>How r u?, \s </p>\
<p>I am using \s\s\s\s\s\s version 14</p>\
</div>
</body>
</html>
""";
System.out.println(beforeJava13);
System.out.println(InJava13);
System.out.println(InJava14);
}
}
Output:
<html> <body> <div> <p>Howdy, Techndeckers</p> <p>How r u?</p> <p>I am using version before Java 13</p> </div> </body> </html> <html> <body> <div> <p>Howdy, Techndeckers</p> <p>How r u?</p> <p>I am using version 13</p> </div> </body> </html> <html> <body> <div> <p>Howdy, Techndeck</p> <p>How r u?, </p> <p>I am using version 14</p> </div> </body> </html>
