You are doing it correctly. Just observe the tags that you are getting, they contain a space between "". So make sure that you put a space in your replace command accordingly. Something like this.

.Replace("<br />", "\n");

Some browsers treat <br /> as just <br>, so to be sure that nothing goes wrong, you can replace the above code with the following code.

.Replace("<br />", "\n").Replace("<br>", "\n");

There is a space in the <br /> tag in your question, so while using Replace method. Try it like

.Replace("<br />", "\n");

Note the space character between br and / which makes it <br /> and NOT <br/>
