Line breaks in textarea

Is it possible to display line breaks in textareas?

I am loading text from a database, sending it to my webix app via XML and displaying it in a textarea view, but newlines get lost in the process. The actual XML response from the server contains the line break.

It works with default settings ( in js code linebreak can be written as
)

Thanks for the quick response. I provided a bad example and already edited my question.

XML, same as HTML, may not preserve actual line breaks. But in common case it works for me as well

I just found out what was wrong. I used the wrong XML structure. I used

<data><item id="1" sometext="Line 1
Line 2" /></data>

instead of

<data><item><id>1</id><sometext>Line 1
Line 2</sometext></data>

in my application. I wrote that bit of code a couple of weeks ago, so that didn’t come into my mind right away. Sorry for the inconvenience.
