How to preserve line breaks in a textarea

[jkinney768]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to preserve line breaks in a text area? I’m having a problem in our custom CMS where when you type something in a text area in the back end, the line breaks don’t show up on the front end. So it’ll look like this in the back end:

text area

text area

text area

But will come out like this on the front end:

text area text area text area.

I know it’s possible since this forum is obviously doing it, but I just have no clue how. Does anyone have an idea?

It’s your custom CMS. How do you have your text fields set up?

BTW, I had to edit your OP to get the original vertical ‘text areas’ to show properly so perhaps this forum isn’t the best example.

Where you output the string, something like:

myString.Replace(“rn”, “
“);

damnit… in the seconds parameter: < br > < br>
