Hi...<br />
<br />
How can I convert line breaks from plain text into HTML formatted paragraphs?<br />
<br />
For example, if I have a text area field containing plain text with several paragraphs (or line breaks), how can I enclose each paragraph with &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; tags?<br />
<br />
Then the resulting HTML formatted text would output to another text area field.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
