Well, you can do this: <textarea><!--#var mytext html_quote--></textarea> which essentially escapes the HTML so it can be edited. If you simply want the hard breaks as you described, <textarea><!--#var mytext newline_to_br--></textarea> does this, but it does not escape the HTML. Combining these is meaningless. If you want to convert special characters and International characters to HTML character-reference entities (eg., è or "), what's the point? If they're ISO Latin 1 characters they're encapsulated by HTML without translation. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, So there you bastard." --Robert Rankin, _Nostramadus Ate My Hamster_

Dear,
I trying to make a small editor with Zope. People can write a small comment in a <textarea> within a <form>. The problem is how to transform the text in the form to real <HTML>. Examples are the french accent è etc. And the Hard Return that becomes a <p>.
My Question has somebody written some Regular expression in python That do this translation into real HTML???
