I never needed an nl2br method so far in my RoR projects, but after reading this post and checking the API, I found the TextHelper module with a method called simple_format. It's not exactly the same as nl2br because if you have 2 or more newlines, it wraps the content in p tags. If you’re looking for a function that’s view-related, check ActionView::Helpers.

Boo

YeyBoo

The nl2br function just changes all line breaks to ‘<br/>’ so it will be displayed properly in the view. If there’s an alternative let me know. It may come in handy in the future. :D
