dotnet academic: I am developing a weblog. I have a textfield where you write the blog (content). Then i send the text via a WebService method I have created.

The problem is: How do I make the text show exactly the same way as the user wrote the blog? My only problem is that the paragraphs and more than 1 whitespace do not show.

I have a method which replaces "\n" with "<br>", but it does work, i guess it is not "\n" that is used..?

(it works if i write "<br>" directly in the blog, but i want it to do it automatically of course:) )

Can someone help?

Hi,
I suppose your problem is in that you only replace newlines, while when you hit [ENTER] this cause
different operations on different systems. For example on Windows it sends a "\r\n" after each [ENTER]
Hope this helps

It may depend on the character being used to make a new line on the system
running the blog. For example, it could be a carriage return, or carriage
return & line feed. Use the string.split method and try passing in
different ControlChars.xxx values until it breaks the string up.

You can then join the array of strings back together with <BR> placed
inbetween.
