What are some common pitfalls when using PHP to generate HTML content, especially when dealing with line breaks?

One common pitfall when using PHP to generate HTML content is forgetting to properly handle line breaks. To ensure that line breaks are displayed correctly in HTML, you can use the PHP function nl2br() to convert newline characters to <br> tags. 

&lt;?php
// Example text with line breaks
$text = &quot;This is a line with\na line break.&quot;;

// Output the text with line breaks converted to &lt;br&gt; tags
echo nl2br($text);
?&gt;
