javascript - AngularJS is rendering <br> as text not as a newline

Question

I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find the answer.

I have an AngularJS script that is pulling from a DB and then rendering to content. Everything is working correctly except a couple of places that I am trying to concatenate some words with new lines between them.

 **in the script.js**
groupedList[aIndex].CATEGORY = existingCategory+'
'+thisCategory;
groupedList[aIndex].CATEGORY = existingCategory+'<br>'+thisCategory;

If I use the first line of the above code I don't see anything but there is not a new line in the redered html. If I use the second line the <br> get rendered as text and the output looks like this:

Instinct<br>Media

instead of

Instinct
Media

I can post the full script if that would be helpful but I am guessing there is something simple that I am just not seeing.

UPDATE Here is the full js

function qCtrl($scope, $filter, $http, $timeout){

    $scope.getCategories = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getCategories').success(function(data) { $scope.categories = data; });   }
    $scope.getClassifications = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getClassifications').success(function(data) {   $scope.classifications = data;  }); }
    $scope.getIndustries = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getIndustries').success(function(data) { $scope.industries = data;   }); }
    $scope.getKeywords = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getKeywords').success(function(data) { $scope.keywords = data; }); }
    $scope.getSources = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getSources').success(function(data) {   $scope.sources = data;  }); }

    $scope.getAllQuotes = function(){$http.post('quote.cfc?method=getAllQuotesJoined').success(function(data) { $scope.allQuotes = data;    }); }

    $scope.initScopes = function (){
        $scope.getCategories();
        $scope.getClassifications();
        $scope.getIndustries();
        $scope.getKeywords();
        $scope.getSources();
        $scope.getAllQuotes();
    }   
    $scope.initScopes();

    // SEARCH QUOTES
    $scope.filteredQuotes = $scope.allQuotes;
    $scope.search = {searchField:''};

    $scope.searchQuote = function(){
        var filter = $filter('filter');
        var searchCrit = $scope.search;
        var newlist = $scope.allQuotes;
        var groupedList = [];
        var idList = [];
        newlist = filter(newlist,{TESTQUOTE:searchCrit.searchField});
        for(i=0;i<10;i++){
            aIndex = idList.contains(newlist[i].TESTIMONIALID);
            if(aIndex >= 0){
                thisKeyword = newlist[i].KEYWORD;
                thisClassification = newlist[i].CLASSIFICATION;
                thisCategory = newlist[i].CATEGORY;
                existingKeyword = groupedList[aIndex].KEYWORD;
                existingClassification = groupedList[aIndex].CLASSIFICATION;
                existingCategory = groupedList[aIndex].CATEGORY;
                if(thisKeyword != '' && existingKeyword.indexOf(thisKeyword) == -1){
                    groupedList[aIndex].KEYWORD = existingKeyword+' - '+thisKeyword;
                } 
                if(thisClassification != '' && existingClassification.indexOf(thisClassification) == -1){
                    groupedList[aIndex].CLASSIFICATION = existingClassification+' 
 '+thisClassification;
                } 
                if(thisCategory != '' && existingCategory.indexOf(thisCategory) == -1){
                    groupedList[aIndex].CATEGORY = existingCategory+'<br>'+thisCategory;
                }               
            } else {
                idList.push(newlist[i].TESTIMONIALID);
                groupedList.push(newlist[i]);
            }
        }
        $scope.filteredQuotes = groupedList;
      }
}
Array.prototype.contains = function ( needle ) {
   for (j in this) {
       if (this[j] == needle) return j;
   }
   return -1;
}

Here is the HTML

<div ng-repeat="q in filteredQuotes" class="well clearfix">
                        <h3>{{q.TITLE}}</h3>
                        <div class="row-fluid" style="margin-bottom:5px;">
                            <div class="span3 well-small whBG"><h4>Classification</h4>{{q.CLASSIFICATION}}</div>
                            <div class="span3 well-small whBG pipeHolder"><h4>Categories</h4>{{q.CATEGORY}}</div>
                            <div class="span3 well-small whBG"><h4>Key Words</h4>{{q.KEYWORD}}</div>
                            <div class="span3 well-small whBG"><h4>Additional</h4>Industry = {{q.INDUSTRY}}<br>Source = {{q.SOURCE}}</div>
                        </div>
                        <div class="well whBG">{{q.TESTQUOTE}}</div>
                        <div class="tiny">
                            Source comment : {{q.SOURCECOMMENT}}<br>
                            Additional Comment : {{q.COMMENT}}
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>

Answer 1

You can use to concatenate words and then apply this style to container div.

style="white-space: pre;"

More info can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space

<p style="white-space: pre;">
    This is normal text.
</p>
<p style="white-space: pre;">
    This 
  text 
  contains 
  new lines.
