html textarea in a browse

[GordonF]

Is there a way to have an html textarea in a browse?

I realise that strings can become multi-line if long enough but only by word wrapping, line breaks are not respected. I really need a method to correctly display text containing line breaks in a browse row, ideally limited to a number of lines with a scroll bar, no EIP ability is required for my needs so readonly is fine.

Check "Allow xHTML in column" for the column you want. General tab Column subtab.

As for limiting the number of lines, you will have to do that with css. max-height should do the trick.

if your strings contain line-breaks (ie <13,10>) and you want to display them preserved in HTML you can pass them through the StringTheory LinEndings method to convert them to html before displaying.

Many thanks for both of your help, I've used both suggestions and it works just fine, I can work on the line limit separately.
