Re: How to elegantly replace line breaks with tag?

[António Rodrigues]

I add that problem also because I wanted to display the text exactly as it
was entered in a text area.

You can create a custom converter and then add it to the components where
you want to use it.
But the most elegant way is to create a facelet.

This is what I did.
- I have created a custom converter that converts \n into <br/> and spaces
into &nbsp;
- I have created a facelet as follows.

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
                xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
                xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
                xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";>

    <h:panelGroup rendered="#{empty rendered or rendered}">
        <h:outputLabel value="#{value}"
                       converter="ParagraphConverter"
                       escape="false"
                       styleClass="#{styleClass}">
        </h:outputLabel>
    </h:panelGroup>
</ui:composition>


So when I want a paragraph I just use the facelet tag

<mytags:textParagraph styleClass="paragraphFont"
rendered="#{myBean.display}" value="#{myBean.conclusion}" />
