How to show multiline text in a table cell?
You want to use the CSS white-space:pre applied to the appropriate <td>. To do this to all table cells, for example:
td { white-space:pre }
Alternatively, if you can change your markup, you can use a <pre> tag around your content. By default web browsers use their user-agent stylesheet to apply the same white-space:pre rule to this element.
The PRE element tells visual user agents that the enclosed text is "preformatted". When handling preformatted text, visual user agents:
- May leave white space intact.
- May render text with a fixed-pitch font.
- May disable automatic word wrap.
- Must not disable bidirectional processing.
