title: How to display text inside text area with line break instead of <br/>
body: <p>I have a Gridview with a textarea. when i have line breaks in the textarea it is corrrectly saving those line breaks to the database. but when i display the same i see it as <code>&lt;/br&gt;</code> instead of a line break</p>

  <p>So the Data is saved in the table as <code>test1&lt;br/&lt;br/&gt;&lt;test2&gt;</code>. This gets displayed properly in the view mode, but when i click the edit button to update the data i see the the <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code> tags instead of actual line breaks. How can i solve this issue? </p>
  
  <p>This is differernt from the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8627902/new-line-in-text-area">New line in text area</a> question as i do not have control over the innerText of the TextArea. This is being dynamically generated from the Database and i cannot change the contents of the DB as this would cause problems in the display in view mode</p>
