title: Append line-break after text
body: <p>I'm trying to append a line break to a line of text I'm loading from an xml page using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#questionNumber").text(questionInARow).append('&lt;br&gt;');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text is loading okay, but the append is being ignored.
  I've also tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#questionNumber").text(questionInARow).html("&lt;br&gt;");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is ignored likewise.
  Is my syntax wrong, or my method just bad?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
