Selenium WebDriver - how to verify multiple lines text

I have an html page with following contents:

    <center> 
          This is Login page. 
          <br> 
          Please click below link to Login.
          <br> 
          <a href="xxx">Login</a> 
    </center>

How can I verify all the static text above using one webdriver command?

I tried these but none of it works :(

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(.,'This is Login page.<br>Please click below link to Login')]"))
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(.,'This is Login page.\nPlease click below link to Login')]"))

Anyone know how to do it?

You can do with "\n"

return getText(supportText).contains("Information:" + "\n" +
    "This page is for use by the TECHNICAL TEAM only. Following links will be active, only if you have access (subscription) to those modules.");

This is more a limitation of XPath than Selenium.

I do not see why you are using the global XPath selector there, a better XPath selector would be:

By.XPath("//center");

If it's the only "center" tag on the page, or even:

By.XPath("//center[contains(text(), 'This is a Login page'")

The /r and /n characters will be retained if you do it through code instead of blindly searching for it in XPath.

You can do:

webDriver.findElement(By.id("<ID of center tag>")).getText().contains("This is Login page.Please click below link to Login.Login");

Feel free to use a locator of your choice instead of By.id.

Basically getText() of any WebElement returns the textual content of the node, stripped of all the HTML tags and comments.
