Formatting a multiline text

[saran26]

Hi All,

I have the following text stored in a database in a multiline field.

I have written a perl script to get the following contents
and print it in a html page.

I found the newline characters and replaced it with a <br> using the following perl statement

$executivesummary =~ s/\n/<br>\n/g;

But while printing the identation is lost. all are printing from the first , how to preserve the indentation while priting and provide a bullet point for every line.

Please help me out.

Thanks
Saran

Hi

Please post formatted text between [tt][ignore][tt][/ignore][/tt] and [tt][ignore][/tt][/ignore][/tt] ( or [tt][ignore]

[/ignore][/tt] and [tt][ignore]

[/ignore][/tt] ) TGML tags. There is no indentation in the sample text you posted.

In HTML sequences of whitespaces are displayed as a single space character. If you want to display all whitespaces to preserve the indentation, you have to set [tt]white-space: pre[/tt] CSS style for your text. Or enclose it between [tt]pre[/tt] tags.

But better spend some time and do it right : display the text as an unordered list.
