ruby-on-rails associations simple-form

I'm trying to customize the output of a simple_form association, basically I need to display a checkbox label on two lines. My idea was adding a "br" tag into the "label", but unfortunately it gets escaped so it display actually "br" instead of going to a new line

I use a lambda for customizing the label output

<%= f.association :item, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => current_user.items, :label => false, :label_method => lambda { |item| "#{item.city.capitalize},<br> #{item.address}" }%>

this produces an escaped br into the label string, how could I display the label on two lines?

call html_safe method on the string you want not to be escaped.

<%= f.association :item, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => current_user.items, :label => false, :label_method => lambda { |item| "#{item.city.capitalize},<br> #{item.address}".html_safe }%>
