Answer 1

Not even a vue issue you could simply use CSS and apply white-space: pre; to the content. You shouldn't need an additional package for this.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    text: 'Hello Vue.\nThis is a line of text.\nAnother line of text.\n'
  }
})

.pre-formatted {
  white-space: pre;
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.15/vue.js"></script>

<div id="app">
  <div class="pre-formatted">{{ text }}</div>
</div>

I was facing same issus i was using vue-nl2br

check it here

Install

npm install --save vue-nl2br

Usage

import Nl2br from 'vue-nl2br'

Vue.component('nl2br', Nl2br)

View

<nl2br tag="p" :text="`myLine1\nmyLine2`" />

result :

<p>myLine1<br>myLine2</p>

Answer 3

Use the <pre></pre> tag to preserve the preformated text. More info MDN Pre tag docs

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    text: 'Hello, \n what\'s up? \n My name is Joe'
  }
})

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.15/vue.js"></script>

<div id="app">
  <pre>{{ text }}</pre>
</div>
