I receive from the user text(non-html) and I store it in a database. I have in database text that have '\n' characters for end of the line.

- list one text\n
- list 2 text\n

In the browser code source this can be seen, but are nor reflected also in html.

How can I make it to be reflected in html ?

  • i think you can just change \n with
    tag     – HamzaNig Oct 29 '18 at 16:04
  • `\n` - is UNIX-style line ending for line break. Are you using a server-side language at all (HTML on its own can't fix this issue - someone correct me if I'm wrong :)) – treyBake Oct 29 '18 at 16:05

  • If its a database you must be getting it with some other language - what is it? As probably you can change it after fetching the data before sending to the html. Otherwise onload you can use JS/jQuery to go and find each `\n` and swap it for `

  • I use python as backend, I thought maybe are some special characters/encoding like non-braking space – user3541631 Oct 29 '18 at 16:12
