Web Site Article display

[kcwallace]

I have a web site that I need to pull formatted text (paragraphs) out of a database and populate a web page. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best method?

Every method I seem to choose drops the formatting. Do I need to manually create the line breaks?

If carriage returns are stored in the text then you just need to replace them with "<br>".

THat seems like a very manual method. Isn't there a more automatic method?

How is it formatted in the database?

It is in a NText field. It is text that is basically copied and pasted from a text file, or a word document.
