Question

This will not work

    String t = "Lorem\nipsum";
    Element br = new Element.tag('br');
    t = t.replaceAll('\n', br);

And neither will

    String t = "Lorem\nipsum";
    String br = "<br>";
    t = t.replaceAll('\n', br);

Of course, if there are some safe way for Dart to handle HTML inputs on the frontend, then that would be the optimal solution. But the closest I’ve found is templates which afaik only runs backend (?).

For now, just replacing \n’s with <br>’s would be just fine but it has to be done from frontend since what I’m building doesn’t have a backend (only using localStorage for now).

Answer 1

This works:

String t = "Lorem\nipsum";
String br = "<br>";
t = t.replaceAll('\n', br);
query("#text").innerHTML = t;
