My question is simple, I want this string:

//input string
<div class=“element”>
    <span>text</span>
</div>

to look like this:

//output string
<div class="element">\n\t<span>text</span>\n</div>

First I thought that I can do it with the .replace() function but I don't know how to target the \n and \t in a way that I can replace those.

I use a textbox as in and output. I need it in one line because I want to writ it to a JSON object and it does not support multiline strings.
