title: How to get a newline in JSF (plain text)?
body: <p>I am using JSF to generate text and need newlines to make the text easier to read.  I have an HTML version which works great, I hacked it together using <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code> (I'm not proud of that, but it works).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to do the same for the plain text version such as inserting <code>\n</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am doing something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;customTagLibrary:customTag&gt;
    &lt;h:outputText value="Exception"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    ...
  &lt;/customTagLibrary:customTag&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of the <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code>, I want <code>\n</code>.  What is the best way to do that?</p>
  
  <p>Please keep in mind that I'm NOT using this to generate content that will be sent to the browser.  This will be used to create email messages or (plain-text) attachments in emails.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
