Rails — Add a line break into a text area

Question

I got a rails app where I can input a few paragraphs of text into my model. The problem is I dont know how to input any line breaks.

I\'ve tried to add \" {ln}{/ln}

Answer 1

The answers above were good:

• the gsub (@Ian) worked well
• the simple_format (@Karl) was a bit over the top as @Aaron pointed out, wrapping everything in

So I tweaked as follows:

simple_format(value, {}, wrapper_tag: 'div')
