The rails helpers were replaced with a new set of helpers that do pretty much the same thing, although there may be some differences in the details. To just convert newlines to <br>, use ``webhelpers.html.converters.nl2br``. There are other helpers in that package that do that and more. ``format_paragraphs`` converts text paragraphs to HTML. ``markdown`` and ``textilize`` convert two wiki-like languages to HTML. The rails helpers were removed because they concatenated strings rather than using an HTML tag builder, which led to mis-escaping. They were also not very pythonic in their names and arguments. They can still be found in WebHelpers 0.6.4, which is on PyPI. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
