var App =React.createClass({
    getInitialState:function(){
        return{
            value:"My Value"
        }
    },
    updateValue:function(modifiedValue){
        this.setState({
            value:modifiedValue
        })
    },

    format: function (value) {
        return { __html: value.replace(/\r?\n/g, '<br>') };
    },
    rawMarkup: function() {
        var rawMarkup = marked(this.state.value.toString(), {sanitize: true});
        return { __html: rawMarkup };
    },
    render:function(){
        return(
            <div className="inputBox container-fluid">
                <h1 className="text-center text-primary">Hello Coders !!!</h1>
                <div className="row">
                    <div className="col-md-6 col-md-offset-1">
                        <InputBox value={this.state.value} updateValue={this.updateValue}/>
                    </div>

                    <div
                        className="outputBox col-md-6 col-md-offset-1"

        var modifiedValue = this.refs.initialValue.value;
        this.props.updateValue(modifiedValue);
    },

    render:function(){
        return(
            <textarea type="text" value={this.props.value} onChange={this.update} ref="initialValue">

As you are using markdown you don't need replace \n to <br>, you can just set breaks option to true

rawMarkup: function() {
  return { __html: marked(this.state.value, { sanitize: true, breaks: true }) };
},
