String Replace/ Regex replace for APL not working

Hey,

im using a string that'll be rendered in a card. There it has \r\n to get newlines.
I currently added APL support and figured out apl needs a <br/> or <br>

So in the method where I add the APL text I wanted to replace the \r\n with <br> by using

stringToReplace.replace(/\\r\\n/g, "<br/>");

This works in every browser console and regex builder but not in APL and so not in the skill as well

Can sb tell me why and how to solve this issiue?

Why <br/> and not just <br> ?

Have you tried both ways?
