    .... which is a feature of the underlying nl2br php function.

    See http://be.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php

    So to create for example a safe javascript string, this operator need to be patched.

      One solution is to use this instead:

      {'The lazy
cat
jumps over
the quick rat.'|explode('\n')|implode('')}
