Stupid question: How to substitute something to be a NEWLINE?

Stupid question: How to substitute something to be a NEWLINE?

[David Combs]

I used to have the answer to this written down, but I don't seem
to now.

So, how to include a newline on the "to" part of a substitute cmd,
eg query-replace?

Nothing I try seems to work.

THANKS!

David

I managed to guess this when I first needed it; but I consider it
clunky.  It's a pity plain C-j doesn't work, as it does in a search
string.

Try C-o instead.
