I ve found String fromCharCode 13  10  helpful when using view engines   https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects String fromCharCode  This creates a string with the actual newline characters in it and so forces the view engine to output a newline rather than an escaped version  Eg  Using NodeJS EJS view engine - This is a simple example in which any  n should be replaced   viewHelper js  exports replaceNewline   function input        var newline   String fromCharCode 13  10       return input replaceAll    n   newline       EJS   lt textarea gt  lt  - viewHelper replaceNewline  Blah nblah nblah     gt  lt  textarea gt    Renders   lt textarea gt Blah blah blah lt  textarea gt      replaceAll   String prototype replaceAll   function  find  replace        var result   this      do           var split   result split find           result   split join replace         while  split length  gt  1       return result

I think you are confusing the syntax of different languages     amp  10  is  the HtmlEncoded value of ASCII 10 or  the linefeed character literal in a HTML string  But the line feed character does NOT render as a line break in HTML  see notes at bottom    n is the linefeed character literal  ASCII 10  in a Javascript string   lt br  gt  is a line break in HTML  Many other elements  eg  lt p gt    lt div gt   etc also render line breaks unless overridden with some styles    Hopefully the following illustration will make it clearer    x000D   x000D  T innerText    Position of LF      t value indexOf   n    x000D   x000D  p1 innerHTML   t value  x000D  p2 innerHTML   t value replace   n     lt br  gt     x000D  p3 innerText   t value replace   n     lt br  gt     x000D   lt textarea id  t  gt Line 1 amp  10 Line 2 lt  textarea gt  x000D   x000D   lt p id  T  gt  lt  p gt  x000D   lt p id  p1  gt  lt  p gt  x000D   lt p id  p2  gt  lt  p gt  x000D   lt p id  p3  gt  lt  p gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    A few points to note about Html    The innerHTML value of the TEXTAREA element does not render Html  Try the following   lt textarea gt A  lt a href  x  gt link lt  a gt   lt  textarea gt  to see  The P element renders all contiguous white spaces  including new lines  as one space  The LF character does not render to a new line or line break in HTML  The TEXTAREA renders LF as a new line inside the text area box
