但需要注意的是，问题的前提与W3规范不一致，因此不能保证行为，解决方案使用&x10;工作时<textarea>是要在HTML中定义:

<textarea 
  placeholder="HTML entity works &#10; but unicode entity hard-coded \u000A !">
</textarea>

但是如果<textarea>是用JavaScript创建的，那么&#10;实体将在输出中硬编码。然而，使用unicode等效的\u000A是可以的:

let myArea = document.createElement("textarea");
myArea.placeholder = "Unicode works \u000A But HTML entity hard-coded 
 !";

非常简单的

  var position = your break position;
    var breakLine = "
";//in html 
    var output = [value.slice(0, position), breakLine, value.slice(position)].join('');
    return output;

值表示原始字符串

你可以插入一个新的行html实体&#10;在占位符属性内部:

< textarea name = " foo " placeholder =“你好you& 10;第二个line& #第三线" > < / textarea > 10;

适用于: Chrome 62, IE10, Firefox 60

不起作用: Safari 11

在php工作良好反斜杠+ r (\r):

<textarea placeholder='This is a line \r this should be a new line'></textarea>

我不喜欢隐藏占位符当你聚焦文本区域。所以我做了一个构造函数占位符，看起来完全像内置占位符，也工作在其他浏览器比谷歌Chrome。它非常方便，因为你可以随时使用占位符函数，甚至不需要jQuery。

编辑:

它现在还能正确处理特殊情况，比如插入占位符。

var textarea = document.getElementById("textarea"); new Placeholder(textarea, "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); function Placeholder(el, placeholder) { if (el.value == "" || el.value == placeholder) { el.style.color = "gray"; el.value = placeholder; el._plc = true; el.className += " unselectable"; } function keyPress(e) { window.setTimeout(function() { var replaced = reverseStr(el.value).replace(reverseStr(placeholder), ""); if (el.value == "") { el.value = placeholder; el.style.color = "gray"; cursorToStart(el); el._plc = true; el.className += " unselectable"; } else if (el._plc && el.value.endsWith(placeholder) && replaced !== "") { el.value = reverseStr(replaced); el.style.color = "black"; el._plc = false; el.readOnly = false; el.className = el.className.replace("unselectable", ""); } else if (el._plc && el.readOnly) { var ch = String.fromCharCode(e.charCode); if (e.keyCode == 13) ch = "\n"; // ENTER else if (e.charCode == 0) return; // non-character keys el.value = ch; el.style.color = "black"; el._plc = false; el.readOnly = false; el.className = el.className.replace("unselectable", ""); } }, 10); } el.addEventListener("keypress", keyPress, false); el.addEventListener("paste", keyPress, false); el.addEventListener("cut", keyPress, false); el.addEventListener("mousedown", function() { if (el._plc) el.readOnly = true; }, false); el.addEventListener("mouseup", function() { el.readOnly = false; if (el._plc) cursorToStart(el); }, false); function cursorToStart(input) { if (input.createTextRange) { var part = input.createTextRange(); part.move("character", 0); part.select(); } else if (input.setSelectionRange){ input.setSelectionRange(0, 0); } input.focus(); } function reverseStr(str) { if (!str) return ""; return str.split("").reverse().join(""); } } textarea { border: 1px solid gray; padding: 3px 6px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; transition: .2s; } textarea:hover, textarea:focus { border-color: #2277cc; } textarea:focus { box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px #85B7E9; } *.unselectable { -webkit-user-select: none; -webkit-touch-callout: none; -khtml-user-select: none; -moz-user-select: none; -ms-user-select: none; -o-user-select: none; } <textarea id="textarea"></textarea>

旧的回答:

不，你不能在占位符属性中这样做。你甚至不能用html编码像&#13;&#10;在占位符中。
