👽 OK… this is kinda wierd question but what’s the symbol combination in \<input\> textboxes in a html form for line breaks… ya know… in html they’re \<br\>, in text files it’s  
etc…

For example if I have an e-mail form and when the users prsses enter to make a line break I want it to dispay a line break in the e-mail message too… e.g. with using ereg\_repalce() in php but I don’t know what to replace with \<br\>… I hope you get what I mean…
