Re: Re: Substituting Newline Characters

(Responding to edit2) Wouldn't that produce something like

this is a line
<p>
this is another line
<p>
this is a third line
<p>

How ugly. Paragraph tags aren't line breaks, they're supposed to enclose a paragraph! At least do s/\n\n/<\/p><p>/g and do something to insert a paragraph tag at the beginning.

No, given: `this is a line this is line2 this is a new paragraph this is line2 on a new paragraph` [download] it will produce `this is a line this is line2 <p> this is a new paragraph this is line2 on a new paragraph` [download] I do agree that you probably should put a `<p>` tag at the beginning, but in HTML a `<p>` tag doesn't need to be closed. XHTML is another matter, ofcourse. joost. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l] [select]
