Line breaks do not work in UILabel

I load the help text from plist and display it as UILabels hosted in a UIScrollView. The following is the code sequence:

    UILabel *sectionDetailLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(34, myOriginForThisSection, 286, 20)] autorelease];
    sectionDetailLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    sectionDetailLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
    sectionDetailLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
    sectionDetailLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    sectionDetailLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
    sectionDetailLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

    [baseScrollView addSubview:sectionDetailLabel];

    [sectionDetailLabel setText:myStringForThisSection];
    [sectionDetailLabel sizeToFit];

code>

While any “long” text is wrapped correctly in several lines, I cannot manually insert any line breaks using the newline characters '\ n' in 'myStringForThisSection'. I see only the characters '\' and 'n' printed in UILabel, wherever I want a line break.
