Textbox Is Not Properly Encoding Escape Characters

[Alex Jacobson]

Hello,

I have noticed that when I pass in strings to the multiline EjsTextBox, it renders newline characters as \n instead of creating an actual newline. I tried to manually encode my strings with HtmlEncoder, but then it just shows the literal hex codes. This does not happen when I use the InputTextArea component--it appears to encode things properly by default--and I've had to start using that one in my website. I couldn't find any direction about this on the docs. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to get the encoding to work that I don't know about?
