On page 23, there is a section in grey on using white space. The example shown is this:
print "Line 1\nLine2";
I tested this and it returns simply
Line 1 Line 2
I looked in the PHP manual and found that I can use \n in the nl2br function. I tried it using this code:
print nl2br("Line 1\nLine 2");
And that worked, outputting this:
Line 1
Line 2
Is this an error in the book, or am I missing something. I checked the errata and found nothing.
Clearly I found one way (maybe the only way?), but I am wondering if I am missing something about how it is explained in chapter 1?

Ohh! Thanks for the clarification. So it is used for ease of viewing the source code, rather than the public rendering. Makes sense.
