does not work for dynamically set "value"-Attribute of h:outputtext

Question

I have the following problem: The "value"-Attribute of my "h:outbuttext" is set dynamically as follows:

    <h:outputText value="#{bean.getText()}" style="position: relative;" escape="false"/>

So the "value"-Attribute of "h:outbuttext" looks like this:

    1. Cars<br/>2. Busses<br/>3. Plains

And my expected result is:

1. Cars
2. Busses
3. Plains

But the <'br/'>s are not recognized as word wrap and my actual result looks like this:

1. Cars<br/>2. Busses<br/>3. Plains

When I set the "value"-Attribute of my "h:outputtext" as a raw string like this:

    <h:outputText value="1. Cars&lt;br/&gt;2. Busses&lt;br/&gt;3. Plains" style="position: relative;" escape="false"/>

then I get the expected result.

So my question is, how do I get the <'br'/> work for dynamically set "value"-Attributes?

Thanks in advance!!!!
