line break in js

Hello, im trying to do a line break using js, but while adding an element it does not work with \n(i think it would work) or <br/>, for example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <script> function ex(){ var h=document.getElementById("name"); var elemento = document.createElement("p"); var txt=document.createTextNode("a\nb\nc\nd\ne"); elemento.appendChild(txt); h.appendChild(elemento); }
