What is alternative method for mutliline text area line brakes in umbraco 8.

In Umbraco 7, we had the following extension method in umbraco helper.
```
@Umbraco.ReplaceLineBreaksForHtml(multiLine);
```
Thanks in advance

Hi Sumesh,

I tend to just add .Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />") to the output so
```
Model.TextareaOutput.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")
```
or
```
Model.Value("textareaOutput").Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")
```

I was just looking for this today as well. I found there is now an HtmlHelper:
```
@Html.ReplaceLineBreaksForHtml(multiLine)
```
Note that it returns HtmlString, not string!

I initially copied the v7 string extension but had to revisit where I was using it, so I was searching for my extension (same name) and happened to find the HtmlHelper in /Views/Partials/Grid/Editors/Textstring.cshtml

Now it's:

Html.ReplaceLineBreaks(text);

ReplaceLineBreaksWithHtml is deprecated

I can't believe this isn't in the docs.
