' as new line

Question

' rather than displaying the raw strings inside the fruits.description ``` fruits.description: 'This is an red apple 
 It is also very sweet' ``` my render helper method ``` def get_description(fruits) if fruits.type == 'apple' haml_tag 'p', fruits.description, {id: fruits.id} end end ``` I want the strings to display so that is like this ``` This is an red apple It is also very sweet ```

Accepted Answer

Try `simple_format`, which will add the `

` tag as well as translate ` ` to `
` etc. Specifically: Two or more consecutive newlines( ) are considered as a paragraph and wrapped in `

` tags. One newline ( ) is considered as a linebreak and a `
` tag is appended.
