The ParagraphFormat() function is pretty weak, since it doesn't generally
put the <p> tags in the appropriate places (i.e. at the beginning of
paragraphs...)
I suggest the following solution using regular expressions:
<cfset YourText = #REReplace( YourText,
"([#chr(10)##chr(13)#][#chr(10)##chr(13)#]?)","<br> ","ALL")#>
Although, to kill the header/trailing carriage-returns/spaces I would
suggest trimming it like so:
<cfset YourText = #REReplace( Trim(YourText),
"([#chr(10)##chr(13)#][#chr(10)##chr(13)#]?)","<br> ","ALL")#>
