HTMLEditFormat/HTMLCodeFormat with line breaks and word wrap

Question

I'm attempting to output some user entered information to the
screen and am running into a formatting problem. If I use
HTMLEditFormat(), I lose all the line breaks, but it word wraps
nicely. If I use HTMLCodeFormat(), I get the line breaks, but the
text also doesn't word wrap, making some really wide screens, even
if I put the information in a table with specific a specific width
defined. Isn't there some way to get the best of both?? I need to
be able to keep any line breaks (sometimes they've entered lists or
have multiple paragraphs) but would like it to word wrap too so
that it's easy to read without scrolling sideways. Any
ideas??

Thanks for your suggestions. Since the information is inputby external users and then displayed to the public, I am usingHTMLEditFormat and HTMLCodeFormat to help prevent cross scriptingattacks, so don't really want to jettison them altogether. However,I did discover after playing with the suggestion listed here, thatthis will work: #Replace(HTMLEditFormat(mytext),chr(10),"
","all")#HTMLEditFormat gets rid of the return character, but not theline feed, so it is possible to replace the line feeds with
to create the desired affect.Thanks for your suggestions.

use Replace() or REReplace cf functions to replace plain-textlinebreakswith html
element. off the top of my head,something like this:#replace(mytext, chr(10)&chr(13), "
", "all")#or#rereplace(mytext, " ", "
","all")#hthAzadi SaryevSabai-dee.comhttp://www.sabai-dee.com/
