Showing formatted text from forms
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 8:58 am
Is there any way to make, using forms (textarea), text show like you type it, eg. a linebreak is shown like <br>?
I tried using <pre> but then it didn't use the space it had in the table, and it didn't break the line when crossing an image, which I would like it to do, is there any way to do this? Also, in the text, can you make some kind of link-sign that automatically changes it to <a href="$link">$linktext</a>? Like you can often write something like [link adress]linktext[/link]?
Thank you.
