, ...)
Arguments
-

An arbitrary JavaScript value to be appended to
document
. If the value is not a string, it is converted to one before being appended.-
...
Any number (zero or higher) of additional values to be appended (in order) to
document

Description
Document.writeln( )
behaves just like
Document.write( )
except that after appending all
of its arguments to document
, it also
appends a newline character. See the Document.write( )
reference page for more information on this method.
Newline characters are not usually displayed in HTML documents, so
Document.writeln( )
is generally useful only when
writing text to appear in a <pre>
environment, or when writing to a document opened with a MIME type of
“text/plain”.
