I am trying to add line breaks (aka newlines) to values of the input-element. 
, , and \n aren't working; still everything is on one line.
I haven't found an answer to this question amongst other questions that solves my problem. Thanks in advance.

To add line breaks to a textarea, use the addition (+) operator and add the \r\n string at the place where you want to add a line break, e.g. 'line one' + '\r\n' + 'line two' . The combination of the \r and \n characters is used as a newline character. Here is the HTML for the examples in this article. Copied!
Also called "EOL" (end-of-line), "newline," and "hard return," a line break code is generated when the Enter key is pressed, When typing a command on a command line, pressing Enter executes the command.
Note: Use the <br> tag to enter line breaks, not to add space between paragraphs.
Press ALT+ENTER to insert the line break.
I don't actually think you can have line breaks for those types of form elements. You may have to use a <textarea> tag which allows for literal line breaks:
<textarea id="multiliner" name="multiliner">line1
line2
line3</textarea>The HTML input elements, type text or something similar (such as email) will deliberately strip off all line breaks, so that’s not going to work.
The only form element which will accept line breaks is the textarea.
Incidentally, Clipboard.js works by creating a dummy textarea element to do its magic.
