SQL Query and SELECT function with new line

I am concatenating rows, and I want a row in different lines instead using a comma to separate them:

Persons
Sam
Rob
Bob
Tom
Tim 
/* something like that in the same row*/

I am using,

SELECT Person + CHAR(10) AS [text()]

but what only does is, works as a space between each new row.

Any hint?

On Windows, a newline is CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)
In the "INSERT" statement it will work but in the "SELECT" statement it will generate a White space, not a line break.

If you want data in different lines then simple select query will work (assuming the data is in separate row):

<br />
SELECT Person from table_name<br />

If you want to concatenate the rows to single column, then check the following article:

For new line, use
char(13) instead of char(10)
