How to put strings in asp.net resource files

I have a label on an asp.net page that gets its text from a global resource file something like this:

<asp:Label  ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:MyResource, MyString %>" />

      

        
        
        
      

    

The resource string for MyString contains text with a linebreak character, for example:

line1

string2

When the label is displayed I get the following html

<span id="Label1">line1line2</span>

      

        
        
        
      

    

but instead I want it to display as

<span id="Label1">line1<br/>line2</span>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Is there a standard way to do this without putting br tags in the resource file or by manually replacing the text in the resource string?
