Investigate if it's possible to have regular line breaks in tables (in DPL language as well).

If it's not possible, figure out a solution that allows line breaks in dpl tables

there are two ways to make the line break in HTML+CSS:

example 1:

<tbody>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td class="sorting_1 sorting_2">timestamp</td>
    <td>Line 1<br />Line 2</td>
  </tr>
</tbody>

example 2:

<tbody>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td class="sorting_1 sorting_2">timestamp</td>
    <td>
      <span class="d-block">Line 1</span>
      <span class="d-block">Line 2</span>
    </td>
  </tr>
</tbody>

The current solution allows DT to display the line breaks as it is shown in Example 2. The line should contain "\n" or "\r". Another way to display it, is to supply the DT an array of strings, which will be formatted the same way.

Right now, the solution should be tested and (hopefully) closed.

The answer may lie in css after all:

nevermind, it looks like the issue was already solved but unclosed.

currently, if you use \n in dpl string values, it will create the line break. will do more tests with this before closing the issue.

tested on tg6 that both \n and \r works with string values. only unit tests are undone.
