displaying textarea on the frontend contao 3 and line return

[iteration.info]

Hello,

I’m having a 'inputType' => 'textarea', on the backend

When I want to display this content on the frontend “ echo $this->myText” the text is displayed without every line return.

In the backend everything is perfect in a “textarea”.

So how to convert the line return in
in the frontoffice?

Thanks
