Replace a delimiter with a line break when composing HTML?

I'm working on a flow that is triggered when a new item is created in a Sharepoint list.

I have a Compose action that includes HTML that I'm using to make a PDF report. One of the columns in my Sharepoint list includes a series of names separated by semicolons:

Person 1; Person 2; Person3, etc.

The column type is "multiple lines of text" (plain text). When I include that field in my HTML as dynamic content, I want it to be formatted with line breaks after each name instead of the semicolons, like this:

Person 1

Person 2

Person 3

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @T_A_M ,

Please find below steps.

1- Initialize variable - HTML
2- Compose action to hold semicolon values from your list. I have taken hard coded value
3- Loop over the person values
Input : split(outputs('Compose_-_Semicolon_Delimited_Value'),';')
split the compose value by semicolon.

4- Append value in string variable
5 - Now append the string outside of apply to each loop

6 - Add the above variable value in your html.

Output:

The entire flow

Thanks
