2 options I can think of
1. Use <pre></pre> tags to output exactly as the user input the code.
2. User replace(myFieldContents,chr(13),"<br>","ALL")

Subject: [ cf-dev ] Keeping text formatting
I have a form with a multi line text box.
On the action page - i am trying to display the contents of the text box but
it is not formatting the line feeds/carriage returns properly.
If the user enters some text and hits enter on the text box after writing
some text to start a new line and then enters more text, then the resultant
action page just puts 1 space between the two blocks of text instead of
starting the text on a new line.
If the user enters some text then hits enter twice to effectively start a
new line of text with a line of gap in between the last one - then the
action page renders this correctly.
Do I need to use a certain function to uphold the carriage returns and line
feeds accurately? I had a look at HTMLEditFormat and HTMLCodeFormat but
neither upholds the formatting
