HTML output should wrap anyway, unless you're using a <PRE> tag...<br><br>You could try:<br><br><cfoutput><br> #paragraphformat(mytext)#<br></cfoutput><br><br>or<br><cfset mytext=Replace(mytext, "#chr(13)##chr(10)#", "<br>" , "all"
><br><cfoutput><br> #mytext#<br></cfoutput><br><br>Hope this helps...
><br><cfoutput><br> #mytext#<br></cfoutput><br><br>Hope this helps...When outputting the string, you're basically outputting a piece of html code. Although the string contains line breaks, your browser will treat your string just like any other piece of html and ignore them. The replace function above converts line breaks (#chr(13)##chr(10)#) with html break commands (<br>). This way, the browser sees where to break up the lines....
