HTML and Ruby on Rails - Display <br/> tags as line breaks, but other tags as strings

Viewed 1442

I'm working on my first Rails website, but I have a little problem: I want to display the <br/> tags as line breaks, but I also want to display the other tags as strings.

For example, the user input is:

<a href='#2'>Go to #2</a><br/><a href='#3'>Go to #3</a>

I want to display:

<a href='#2'>Go to #2</a>
<a href='#3'>Go to #3</a>

I know that I can display the <br/> tags as line breaks like this:

<%= simple_format @user_input %>

But the problem is that this command display:

Go to #2
Go to #3

And not:

<a href='#2'>Go to #2</a>
<a href='#3'>Go to #3</a>

Thank you in advance!
