asp.net mvc convert \n new line to html breaks

I like using HtmlExtensions, Environment.NewLine and Regex, which were in different answers, so I kinda put the above answers into a single method.

public static MvcHtmlString MultiLineText(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string text) {
 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text)) {
     return MvcHtmlString.Create(string.Empty);
 }
 return MvcHtmlString.Create(Regex.Replace(HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(text), Environment.NewLine, "<br/>"));
}

Use

<%= Html.MultiLineText(Model.MultilineText) %>

Or

@Html.MultiLineText(Model.MultilineText)
