Re: [Zope] Adding Carriage return/line feed to a text field

I have a form that the field length for that element is set to 65k in the database. Using a textbox, the person can enter their information. I now want to view the text. I can again use a text box but what I want to do is this –

<dtml-var mytext>

If I use this format, the text is one line. Are there arguments or a script that will add carriage return/line feed after you set the parameters?

You can wrap it in HTML <pre> tags. This preserves formatting on layout. Otherwise, you'll have to replace the newlines in your text with <br/> tags. Products.PythonScripts.standard.newline_to_br will do this for you, as will the newline_to_br attribute on the dtml-var tag. (You can find this in the Zope online help.) --jcc
