I found a solution to PRE. It is XMP..

From http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~mcm/tags.html,

"<XMP> ... </XMP> Like "PRE" but HTML tags aren't interpreted (except for </XMP>)"

Sean:

I added pre('executive summary') and pre('details') to the save_weekly()
subroutine and this worked!


Thank you very much. I am weary about the fact that HTML tags are permitted inside
PRE. Apparently, &, < and > must either not be present or handled somehow according to
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/block/pre.html.


Can someone recommend a solution to this problem?

White space (including carriage returns) is ignored by HTML, generally. Try
surrounding your text output by the <pre> tag (preformatted text). Does
this do what you want?

I am trying to write a simple weekly entry CGI script and I am trying to

When I do this, apparently carriage returns are either not captured in
as part of the value
returned from the textarea value, or I am not handling the value
returned correctly to recognize
carriage returns.


Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can solve this issue?
