new line char in xml

[temp temp]

    I have some  text in xml file which I will   show in a text area to edit . 
I don’t  know how to specify a new line char in xml. Currently I am using <br> 
tag  instead of a new line char .Using <br> works in jsp  
      but  a text area  displays them as <br> which would  confuse user .So I 
need to put  the new  line char in xml which will be  understood by the browser 
as new line  .Please somebody guide me how to put new line  char in xml. 
  regards
  Miro
