hello
well im rather looking for something more specific:

how can you insert line breaks in a createTextNode method, everything i have tried fails: unicode, html etc..

Use document.create Element("br").

You can use <pre> tag to keep special characters

var _text = document.create TextNode('myTex t' + '\n' + 'myText2);

var _pre = document.create Element("pre");
_pre.appendChil d(_text);
