In what way can you not get it to work?

If you are outputting HTML and viewing it in a web browser, it pays to
remember that newline breaks are *not* rendered. To render a line break
in a web browser you need <br /> If you view the source of the page
you'll see those \n line breaks there but not in the normal browser
window.
