Nonetheless, I recommend you change your database (it's a single operation with a global search and replace in BBEdit or other text editor).Rather than embedding special HTML codes into your database text, it's much nicer and easier to have WebCatalog dynamically convert those soft-returns to
on-the-fly as you're displaying fields. This way in the future you can more easily copy-paste that text into other word processing programs and not have those nasty little
codes in there. It's just much cleaner to leave your data as plain-vanilla as possible, and let WebCatalog do the translations on the fly.[ConvertChars], as its name suggests, converts single characters. There is no option for converting a sequence of characters (more than one, such as
