How to show text with paragraph on UI from DB(Spring)?

Question

I have text with paragraphs in Data Base, I can see this text with System.out.println(); in java, but when I show this text on UI I see all text in one line.

Spring:

    ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
    modelAndView.addObject("allText",dtos);
    modelAndView.setViewName("test");
    return modelAndView;

So I try to show on UI:

 <div th:each="text: ${allText}">
      <div align="center" >
          <b><span th:text="${text.description}">description</span></b>
      </div>
 </div>

Where my mistake?
