Is there soliution, how &lt;br> break line, but do not display?

Don't know if anyone still needs this, but I had the same problem myself. Go into /templates/{template_dir}/content/checkout_payment.tpl.php and near line 30, you should find a line like this:

<?php echo tep_output_string_protected($error['error']); ?>

This particular tep function applies PHP's htmlspecialchars() to the string, converting the angle brackets to HTML entities, which causes the tags to be displayed rather than rendered.

Change the line to:

<?php echo tep_output_string($error['error']); ?>

This should solve the problem.
