HTML break tag is visible in the text instead of breaking the line

Question

I have trouble using the break tag to break the text in new line. Here is what I get in my Web-Browser:

The text is read from a database table. Heree the entry:

And the database entry is created with java. Here the java code:

                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                sb.append("in Folgender Stückelung : <br />");
                while (itKassette.hasNext()) {
                    KassetteBefuellungZuweisung kassetteBef = (KassetteBefuellungZuweisung) itKassette.next();
                    int Anzahl = kassetteBef.getAnzahl();
                    double inhaltNennwert = kassetteBef.getWert() / Anzahl;
                    if (Anzahl != 0) {
                        sb.append("<br />Inhalt (Nennwert): " + inhaltNennwert + " Anzahl: " + Anzahl);
                    }
                }

I also tried to figure out what is wrong by looking in the chrome console. Here:

But I didnt found anything wrong there so I searches the HTML-Sourcecode form that site and got something suspicious. Here the HTML: For any reason the browser convertet the encoding! This is a Struts project and Im pretty new to struts, cant say where or why this happens but hopefully I get a few answeres here. Thanks in advance.

the data is just read from database and written as one string — Raul Vasi, Nov 08 '17 at 13:56
Are you setting it in the property attribute? `property="sb"` — Antho Christen, Nov 08 '17 at 13:57
Its a bit more complicated, but yes. In the jsp I ask for the property. — Raul Vasi, Nov 08 '17 at 13:59
@RaulVasi how are you appending in table in UI can you share that code also? — Sanchit Patiyal, Nov 08 '17 at 14:05
@SanchitPatiyal I wish, but its very complicate. Over many java classes. The "sb" will be stored in a Object with many other things and then throw a long way to a code snippet that looks like database.write(obkect.getWhatever); — Raul Vasi, Nov 08 '17 at 14:12

In the Java code it may not work if you entered
tabgs. Try '/n' instead of

Try using Tag Builder. TagBuilder is a class that specially designed for creating html tags and their content.

This issue is of pre-formmatting.
You can wrap your content with <pre> tag. You should use CSS white-space:pre applied to the appropriate <td>.

Here, is a reference link related to this issue.
