Spring Boot + Thymeleaf: How to keep line breaks from localization strings

I have localization strings with line breaks:

label.example=Text\nwith\nline\nbreaks

And i set the text using thymeleaf:

th:text="#{label.example}"

But the text is printed like:

Text with line breaks

But i want the text to appear like

Text
with
line
breaks

Why are my \n all deleted and not rendered into line breaks? How can i keep my line breaks? It is really important.

Because HTML considers a sequence of white space characters, including line breaks, as a single white space. Unless you tell it to preserve line breaks using CSS.

See the white-space property
