Including "\n" in FormData

Question

I have a form and one of the fields is textarea

How do I send this data so that the new lines(\n) will be included and will be saved into the database?

You don't need to do anything special. If you have a problem, provide a [mcve]. — Quentin, Jun 01 '21 at 14:36

Since I got it working, I'm just gonna answer my own question:

I got it working by using regex.

str.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, '<br>') will do the thing.

This answers a different question (which is how to render new lines in an HTML document). – Quentin Jun 01 '21 at 15:32
Yes it is, but I can convert new lines to literal
and save it to database and render it using innerHTML. – yareyaredaze Jun 01 '21 at 15:53
