<br /> tags when showing texts

Hi there!

I'm getting this problem:

I have to save in my data base some text, actually, its a description os the courses given in my work... so.. when i save it at the db, everything is normal. The problem is when i show the description at my saite or at a text area to change de description. The text is shown with <br /> tags where it should be new line marks...

If i didn't make myself clear, please, report me. =/

If I understand you correctly, you want to keep the HTML tags that are coming from the db

TBS allows you to define how to handle the HTML in block values

try [block.val;htmlconv=no]

See the manual for more on  TBS Fields

htmlconv=val      Enables you to force or prevent the conversion of the data item to Html text.
The value val can be one of the following keywords:
yes:     (default value) Force the conversion to Html including new lines.
no:     Prevent the conversion to Html. Useful to modify Javascript code or to modify the Html source.
nobr:     Force the conversion to Html but new lines (useful for <pre> tags for example).
wsp:     Preserve white spaces (useful for spaces at the beginning of lines).
esc:     No Html conversion and double the single quote characters (').
js:     Convert the data item to a string that can be inserted between JavaScript text delimiters.
look:     Convert the data item to Html only if no Html entities are found inside the data item.
You can specify several values using seperator '+'. Example : htmlconv=yes+js

No exactly this.. I want to remove the <br /> tags.

When I include a text it already saves with these tags, but couldn't exist...

This is givin me some headache... as I have the same script working correctly, but saving in another database...

Re: <br /> tags when showing texts

Hi,

It seems that your application is saving data applying nl2br() on it.
You should convert </br> to "/r/n" before to save data, or use an "onformat" function in TBS which would make this conversion.
