There is a form which accepts user data. There is a textarea included in the form. The problem is when i display that information in a html form it doesnot display the text in the format in which it is entered in the textarea example linebreaks, newlines etc.


I am facing the same problem sending this text throuh <cfmail>. it also does not display special characters.


how can i resolve this issue?

For mail, if you send as plain text, you don't have to do anything.
