Cut'n'paste guestbook w. umlauts & linebreaks

I need a guesbook script that uses three textareas, each that can be preformatted to give an output as follows:
First field: Headline in size 5 and bold
Second field: Text, size 3
Third field: Byline, size 2 and bold.
Another area should allow the submission of an URL, subsequently presenting an image (Could be omitted.)
The script should write over the previous file, creating a new file with the same name, thus replacing the old one everytime one uses the script.
There should be a password protected submission area only. No public access, except for the output.
The tricky part, i suppose, is to allow the textareas to maintain the line breaks and umlauts from the cut'n'pasted text, presenting them in a sort of "edited" form in the guestbook.
I have looked everywhere for a script like this, and have also been told that it can't be done. I thought i'd give it a shot here. X-perts here have helped me before

You can send me an example html of what you want it to look like;
for those 400 points I'm very willing to adjust it to your
personal needs.

Never ever press refresh after posting a comment though..
OK, i've posted a form and an output document. Please take a look at:

and

http://www.gp.se/nyheter/varldens_gang/output.html

That should give you an idea of what i want.

Best,

You still in the race?

Yep, I'm getting there though you could do me a big favour
translating the data page for me..

Just so I know what the options stand for?

Binkzz
OK, "Datum" is the date, found at the top of the output page. "Rubrik" is the headline, "Ingress" is the introduction (bold), "Bild" means image, with the options "Ja/Nej" : Yes/No
"Brödtext" is the text, "Byline" is of course the byline, "Publisera" means publish, ie Submit, and finally "Radera" means erase the form.

Hi there binkzz. If it turned out to be too difficult, please let me know so that i can concentrate on other options.
