How to replace value with linebreak and show it in b-modal (with linebreaks)

Question

I'm working with BootstrapVue.

I have a string like following: Hello / my name / is B0BBY / how / are you ?

Now I want to show this string in a <b-modal> and replace all / (Slash) with a linebreak.. I've tried following:

var newString = actualString.replaceAll(" / ", "\n")

If I console.log this newString it shows in my console with a linebreak. But if I'm using it in my b-modal it shows not with a linebreak, it's all in one line.

I think there is a pretty simple solution for it, but I can't figure it out. Thanks for helping me out!

There are two possibilities. If you want to use \n in your HTML, you have to set a CSS property white-space: pre-line; for the parent element.

Or you can simply replace \n with <br>. Both are possible.

var newString = actualString.replaceAll(" / ", "<br>")

actualString = "Hello / my name / is B0BBY / how / are you ?";
var newString = actualString.replaceAll(" / ", "\n")
console.log(newString)

document.getElementById('out').innerHTML = newString;

<div id="out" style="white-space: pre-line; "></div>
