It's probably due to the fact that browsers do not pay attention to newlines. nl2br() might be of help.

Or wrap it in pre tags.

it works when use nl2br()but the problem it is display <br> in the xml output..i dont want the <br> display in the output..only want it to have new line and not show the coding as well

Did you try the <pre> tag, as ericbrunson advised?
Ps. if you are to use <br>, you need to use <br />, since all tags in xml/xhtml MUST be closed!
