Thymeleaf: EL1043E: Unexpected token

I have a thymeleaf with this piece of code:

<p th:utext="${#strings.replace( #strings.escapeXml( user.text ),${lineSeparator},'&lt;br /&gt;')}" >
                                Presentación
                            </p>

and in the controller:

model.addAttribute("lineSeparator", System.lineSeparator());

but I have this error when I access the page:

05:38:22.290 [http-nio-7080-exec-8] ERROR org.apache.juli.logging.DirectJDKLog.log 175 - Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing faile

You can't nest ${...} expressions without doing preprocessing (and in most cases you shouldn't ever need to unless you are doing preprocessing). Remove the ${...} around lineSeparator.

<p th:utext="${#strings.replace(#strings.escapeXml(text), lineSeparator,'&lt;br /&gt;')}" >
  Presentación
</p>
