JSF generates HTML. Newlines in HTML are not represented by the ` ` character, but by the `
` element. In order to have the HTML client to interpret ` ` too, you need to throw in CSS `white-space: pre` or `pre-wrap`: ``` key = Lorem ipsum. Dolor sit amet. ``` ``` ``` Alternatively, use `
` instead and have JSF unescape it. E.g. ``` key = Lorem ipsum.
Dolor sit amet. ``` ``` ```
