HTML being ignored?

Hi,

If I bring in content from a database with elements such as <br /> are they automatically translated into html entities?

for example <br /> will show up as &lt;br /&gt; in my html output.

look at the htmlconv attribute in the manual. htmlconv=no or htmlconv=nobr is probably what you are looking for. But again. Look at the manual; the attribute is explained including the to values I supplied
