TwistingTwists
I have a string which has “\n” but they are not being displayed properly. “\n” is being treated as if it does not exist.
<p>Question : <%= Phoenix.HTML.raw(rr["question"]) %></p>
<p>Question : <%= rr["question"] %></p>
both of above return same result with “\n” being eaten up by phoenix template.
What am i missing?

Whitespace is not significant in plain html. Either use
Phoenix.HTML.Format.text_to_htmlto convert whitespace into the related html tags or wrap the whole html in<pre></pre>tags.seva
For those looking for a solution in 2024+ or if your app broke during the migration to a newer version of Phoenix, the functions were moved to the
:phoenix_html_helperslibrary, see the changelog: phoenix_html/CHANGELOG.md at main · phoenixframework/phoenix_html · GitHubhttps://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html_helpers/blob/main/lib/phoenix_html_helpers/format.ex
Alternative solution, if all you need is to preserve line breaks is to use
<pre></pre>tags or CSS propertieswhite-space: pre-wrap;orwhite-space: pre-line;(tailwindwhitespace-pre-lineorwhitespace-pre-wrap).
