Title: Convert text to HTML text for display
Post by: JohanR on September 26, 2024, 02:59:16 AM

Hi,

If I have a block of text containing all sorts, multiple spaces , quotes etc,
Is there a stringtheory or NTWS function that can be used to to convert that text to display correctly within an HTML document

I am constructing a block of HTML and this text will be included inside <p> tags

thanks

Johan

if you use text field then check Allow xhtml and Allow UNSAFE Html

Hi,

Thanks, however, I am not displaying / loading this via a NTWS field.
 
I am constructing an HTML file by adding dynamic text to it, and then the server will display a static file.


thanks

Johan

Hi,

Thanks for your help,
but think I was barking up the wrong tree, something I do way too often nowadays!

Something else is breaking my HTML page

cheers,

Johan

if you have a bunch of plain text, and you surround it with
<pre>


</pre>

Then I think you'll get what you;re looking for.

Cheers
