I'm having jQuery take some textarea content and insert it into an li.

I want it to visually retain the line breaks.

There must be a really simple way to do this...

function nl2br (str, is_xhtml) {   

    var breakTag = (is_xhtml || typeof is_xhtml === 'undefined') ? '<br />' : '<br>';    

    return (str + '').replace(/([^>rn]?)(rn|nr|r|n)/g, '$1'+ breakTag +'$2');

}
