for display handling.  IE: a webDNA [tag] [/tag].  Poured>over the online docs didn't see anything.I don't quite follow you here.  But if I'm psychic, here's a guess:1) You want to display text in HTML where those soft returns get turned into <br> tags so the line breaks in the field look like line breaks on the page, instead of just looking like plain spaces.  Use [ConvertChars][field][/ConvertChars].  It turns soft returns into <br>.  Or try putting the text inside <pre> tags.2) You want to pour a field that has soft returns into a <textarea> tag, and you want those soft returns converted back to hard returns, just like the user entered them.  Use [Input][field][/Input].  It converts soft returns to hard returns so they look right in or <TEXTAREA> input tags.You'll see both of these in use in the Classifieds demoGrant Hulbert, V.P.
