Formatting text field in Visualforce Email Template


Hello, 

 I have a custom text area field , the data stored as multiple lines,

If I use this field in a VF Email template it ignores the end of line characters and it will email it as a single line. 


Is there a way to format it in the template to look similar as it is on the object? 


Thanks

You can split method of String to separate multiple line text of a Text Area field.

For ex : 
//This will return you splited text via multiple lines
List<String> lineBy = textfld.split('\n');

Please mark it as best solution to your problem if it does solve your problem.
