How to print new lines in Golang template?

Question

I have stored some content in MySQL that looks like this.

"Hi!\nHow are you?\nHere is the link you wanted:\nhttp://www.google.com"

When I print it in Golang template, its not parsing correctly. I mean everything displayed in one line.

Its supposed to print like this

Hi!
How are you?
Here is the link you wanted:
http://www.google.com

Here is my template code.

<tr>
    <td>TextBody</td>
    <td>{{.Data.Content}}</td>
</tr>

Am I missing something?

Solution

Here you can use the Split function to parse the string and split the substring into slices using the sep as separator.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    txt := "Hi!\nHow are you?\nHere is the link you wanted:\nhttp://www.google.com"
    res := strings.Split(txt, "\n")
    for _, val := range res {
        fmt.Println(val)
    }
}

The output will be:

Hi!
How are you?
Here is the link you wanted:
http://www.google.com

Example on Go Playground.

Thanks Simo, but i want to print this in browser. Is there any template helpers already available in go?
