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.)

Thanks for the help, it seems my company blocks lists so I did not get
your response until this morning when I checked the archives.

 

Thanks,
