FAQ
On input in a text area, the user can se the return key which generate
a \r\n inside the string
the address is stored per se the way it was keyed in ..

@partner[:bank_location]
=> "92, Place Honoré d'Urfé\r\n35140, La Chapelle-Saint-Aubert"

When displaying it inside a table cell, the \r\n is ignored , and the
generated html is :
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Adresse</td>
<td colspan="2">
92, Place Honoré d'Urfé
35140, La Chapelle-Saint-Aubert
</td>
</tr>
but it's not displayed like that ...
I rather get :
Adresse 92, Place Honoré d'Urfé 35140, La Chapelle-
Saint-Aubert

Is there a way to modify this behavior or should I gsub the string to
insert html <br> tags ??

thanks for feedback

    No, there is no way to modify "this behavior" of how the HTML standard treats, and has always since day 1 treated, whitespace.

    I've always used gsub. I normally have a function called nl2br that's just
    gsub("\n", '<br/>') . In my views I just call = nl2br(address)

    function .. and I'll define a function .. and many others have done

    I just went to write this and discovered there's a helper
    called simple_format that does exactly the same thing.
