Replace new lines to <br>, without start of string,

Question

I'm trying to replace new lines in java script to <br> 's. But...

$(this).html($(this).text().replace(/(\n|\r)/gm, "<br>")); 

and the others function like this one replaced first line too. So I'm getting formatted text with enters at the start. Example

<br> (?)
<br> (?)
Text
<br>

How to solve this issue ?

$(".class").each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text().replace(/\\n/g, "<br/>"));
});

You may need to remove the leading '\\n' from the string, like this:

$(".class").each(function() {
    $(this).html( $(this).text().trim('\n').replace(/\n/g, "<br/>") );
});
