title: Primefaces Dataexport prints <br> tags
body: <p>I am exporting data from a p:dataTable into an excel file, and i the data in one of the columns in formatted in a special way using &lt; br > tags.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the layout:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rRLs7.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rRLs7.jpg" alt="description"></a>
  </p>
  
  <p>The problem is when i export the table, the &lt; br > tags are printed into the excel document like this: </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/q1KJ2.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/q1KJ2.jpg" alt="Excel description"></a>
  </p>
  
  <p>The code i am using right now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>                &lt;p:column sortBy="#{serviceLevel.titleAndDescription}"&gt;
                      &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;Description: &lt;/f:facet&gt;
                      &lt;h:outputText style="font-weight:bold" value="Title: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt;
                      &lt;h:outputText value="#{serviceLevel.title} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt;
                      &lt;h:outputText style="font-weight:bold" value="Description: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt;
                      &lt;h:outputText value="#{serviceLevel.description}" /&gt;
                  &lt;/p:column&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried to use normal &lt; br > tags between the outputText's which gave the same effect.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to use a &lt; p:spacer > but the exporter doesn't support it :(</p>
  
  <p>Any idea's on how i can keep the layout for the user, but not show the html tags in the exported excel document?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Primefaces 3.5.</p>
