String partTextHTML = partText.replace( System.getProperty( "line.separator"), "<br />");

this will make the "enters" a <br /> so html knows it's an enter sign

In PHP you have a handy function nl2br() for this, but afaik Java does not

[nobr]Then just write your own utility method ;)

The line.separator property is not fully safe, it *can* differ per system. The following method is safe:

public static String nl2br(String input) {

return input.replaceAll("(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)", "<br />");

}

I always thought that that method was used because it differs per system?

How can it not be fully safe, it takes the system's line separator right? So when you switch to a different system it will automatically use the new one or?

If you store the linebreaks as CRLF in the database and then move it to a system which uses LFCR als linebreaks, then you're lost.
