I am having problem displaying a text with multiple lines. For example, the user can type their text in a textarea in a registration form and the text can be of more than one line i.e. he can hit the Enter (return) key to insert line breaks.
On one page, if I want to show the text that he typed and I use a textarea to display (with EL), it displays the way user had entered initially.
But on another page I need this text be shown in paragraph format (using <p> tag). On this page, when I display the value that the user entered while registering, it does not have the line breaks i.e. it displays in a single line rather than with multiple lines as was entered by the user.
I already tried displaying the text through EL within a <p> tag and using a <c:out> tag of the JSTL within a <p> tag.
Some code that I tried:
Trial-1:
<p>${product.description}</p> //Doesn't show line breaks
Trial-2:
<p><c:out value="${product.description}" /></p> //Doesn't show line breaks too
How can I fix this?
