Adding carriage returns to Html control eg) div or span

This code ASPX file:

        Relates to:
        <div ID="relatedMeasures" runat="server"></div>
        <br />

Code behind loops through items and appends to a string...

  foreach (int id in mcsMeasuresSelected)
  {
     if (mcs.Id == id)
        {
          // Add to selected
           mcsSelectedMeasures.Add(mcs);
           output += mcs.Measure + Environment.NewLine;
        }
  }
relatedMeasures.InnerText = output;

Then the output HTML has no line breaks.

 Relates to:
<div id="MainContent_extScope1_relatedMeasures">CPS: Gas Boiler Solid Fuel Boiler Electric Storage Heater </div>

I have also attempted using a span tag instead of div tag and an asp label and also adding "< br / >" or "<br/>" instead of Environment.NewLine

Use <br/> instead of Environment.NewLine. Like this.

output += mcs.Measure + "<br />";

and use InnerHTML , like following.

relatedMeasures.InnerHtml = output;

This is the difference between them - Difference between InnerHTML and InnerText property of ASP.Net controls?
