[ND] Re: Format Static Text -- please help.

[Azamat Khalilov]

You must set 'False' for Html escaping for that field in Studio.
Then you can simply use html tag <PRE>**field**</PRE>

Or You can use that simple function In OnBeforeDisplay method for field:

CSpDisplayField df=(CSpDisplayField)event.getSouce();
df.setValue(
        new CSpString(ReformatText( df.getValue().toString() )));

public static String ReformatText(String inTxt){
                String result = "";
                String sreplace="";
                int freplace=0;
                int index = 0;
                int startIndex = 0;
                int len =inTxt.length();
                int spcCounter = 0;
                int plcCounter = 0;
                char ch='0';
                while(index < len){
                        ch = inTxt.charAt(index);
                        freplace=0;
                        switch(ch){
                        case '<':
                                sreplace="&lt;"; freplace=1;
                        break;
                        case '>':
                                sreplace="&gt;"; freplace=1;
                        break;
                        case '&':
                                sreplace="&amp;"; freplace=1;
                        break;
                        case '"':
                                sreplace="&quot;"; freplace=1;
                        break;
                        case '\r':
                                sreplace="\r<BR>"; freplace=1;
                        break;
                        case ' ':
                                ++spcCounter;
