[2.0] Newline to br with Scala (nl2br)

[apakatt]

Is there a built in way to convert newlines \n to <br /> in Scala-templates? Or what is the best approach to fix this?

I tried to do a simple .replace("\n", "<br />") but the html-tag gets escaped and I do not want to unescape everything, just the <br /> part.

You can use Html(myString.replace("\n", "<br/>")) to prevent the escaping

I just answered it a few hours ago, it is not very wise to use replace that way: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=&nomobile=true#!topic/play-framework/HU2x9ce6mLs
