Forcing HTML to recognize Carriage Return Line Feeds from C# method

I had an XSLT style sheet that used a C# method to return a multi line string. I wanted it to include the HTML <BR></BR> tag ad specific places within the string but not as literals. After some searching around I found that instead of trying to get the <BR></BR> tag to not be literal, I could simply use the <pre></pre> tag within my HTML and it would force it to recognize the “/r/n” returned from the C# method.
