[SOLVED] via API writing new line to a textarea without editor

[bbb]

I'm trying to write a value to a textarea via de API. I'm making use of the Multivalue Textformatter module which works great for when the field has multiple rows added via admin.

But now I'm trying to add multiple lines to the textarea via the API and I cannot for the life of me figure, or find out how to do this.

I'm adding

"
"

to the end of of each new line. When I apply this value to a textarea in the template, this works fine, but when I

$line = "this is a line";
$p->textarea = $line."
"

I just get "this is a line &#13;&#10;". This is the case with the "/n" and "<br>" as well.

Turning on tinyMC doesn't help either as the output in the template is still the same. Turning on the HTML Encoder doesn't help either.

sorted, had to write "/r/n" and it worked.
