Notes on a method to convert line breaks to br tags in Ruby on Rails.

Since simple_format adds unwanted p tags, creating a custom helper in ApplicationHelper would make you happy.

module ApplicationHelper
  # Convert line breaks to br tags
  def linebreak_to_br(text)
    text.gsub(/\r\n|\r|\n/, "
")
  end
end

That’s all from the Gemba.
