Perserve White Space or Auto Convert to HTML

[Newsgroup_User]

I have textareas that allow people to post thoughts or opinions. I would
like it to display preserving returns and white space. Where can I find info
on how to do this in the output. I was able to do this using an extension
for ASP.

Also, is there a way to have the output auto create hyperlinks when someone
enters an email address or a www / http?

Thanks

Store what you get. When you display it, use the replace functions to convert all your char(10)s to <br />s.

For the white space, put the content into <pre></pre> or <code></code>
tags and|or use CSS to not have the output collapse the whitespace.

For changing links that would require a bit of regex or some other kind
of string processing. Not to difficult, but I don't have the exact code.
