title: How to display line breaks in SharePoint comment history field
body: <p>We have a SharePoint list setup with history enabled so the Comments field keeps all the past values. When it displays, the Comments field is void of all line breaks. However, when SharePoint e-mails the change to us, the line breaks are in there. The Description field also shows the line breaks. </p>
  
  <p>So, something must be stripping out the line breaks in the read-only view of the Comments field. </p>
  
  <p>Any idea on how to customize that so it retains the formatting in the detail view of the SharePoint list item?</p>
