I have added a column to a list (Task list) and set Append Changes to Existing Text to true, I have also set Specify the type of text to allow: to Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment).

The field type is 

The type of information in this column is:  
Multiple lines of text

Then if I write the following into the column in an edit:

1
2
3

The way that it is displayed is 

123

I can get around this by typing

1<br>
2<br>
3<br>

but its very annoying to have to remember to type <html> in the input. Playing around with Sharepoint I have found that if I change the type of text from Rich text to plain text then back to Rich Text Sharepoint formats the display code correctly.

Has anyone found a work around this that only uses workflows or setting options?

I have found the following link but it refers to something about xlst which I have no idea about.
