Append line-break after text

I'm trying to append a line break to a line of text I'm loading from an xml page using the following code:

$("#questionNumber").text(questionInARow).append('<br>');

The text is loading okay, but the append is being ignored. I've also tried this:

$("#questionNumber").text(questionInARow).html("<br>");

and this is ignored likewise. Is my syntax wrong, or my method just bad?

Thank you in advance.

This worked for me

success: function (data) {                      
                    $("#textArea").html(data["Name"] + "\n" + data["Address"] + "\n" + data["Phone"]);
                },

You can use like this

$("#textArea").html("Line 1 Text \n Line 2 Text \n Line 3 Text");

It's much simpler than you think:

$("#questionNumber").html( questionInARow + "<br/>" );

Markup

<div id='temp'></div>

JS

$('#temp').text("hello").html($("#temp").html() + "<br/> how do you do? "); //This is one way
$('#temp').html("hello").append("<br/> how do you do?"); //Yet another way using the 'append' method.

Fiddle

It seems that 

<br/>

is a tag. But you used .html() and .append() methods of jQuery, both of them are inserting contents into content node.
