I have a multi-line
text box. When users simply type away, the
text box wraps the
text, and it's saved as a single line. It's also possible that users may enter line breaks, for example when entering a "bulleted" lists like:
Here are some suggestions:
- fix this
- remove that
- and another thing
Now, the problem occurs when I try to display the value of this field. In order to preserve the formatting, I currently wrap the presentation in <pre> - this works to preserve user-supplied breaks, but when there's a lot of
text saved as a single line, it displays the whole
text block as single line, resulting in horizontal scrolling being needed to see everything.
Is there a graceful way to handle both of these cases?
