in my form i'm accepting news text from user. (user has to copy news from other sites and paste it in that field in the form) then i insert it in database. when i retrieve it and display again, i want it should be printed along with formatting which was in the original news that user had pasted. if it sounds much complicated stuff for text color,size or other enhancement, it should work atleast for paraghaps and indentations, so that the whole news should be readable.
