How do I use nl2br() in Laravel 5 Blade

        
So I want to keep linebreaks from the database while using the Blade Template Engine. I came up on the idea using
{!! nl2br(e($task->text)) !!}

It works. But it looks like a needlessly complicated solution. Is there a better way?

Newline Conversion in Submitted Text in PHP

        
I have a system set up for users to submit their articles into my database. Since it will just be HTML, I don't want to expect them to know to type 
 every time there's a newline, so I am using the PHP function nl2br() on the input.
