I would like to retain the the spacing information (next line, /n) when I retrieve text data from the database.
for example, when I put following into a form test test test this is what I get out of the database in the views. test test test I'd like it retrieve test test test here is my code IN CONTROLLERS (default.py, has two functions) def create_text(): form = SQLFORM(db.task, fields=[ 'body']) if form.accepts(request.vars, session): session.flash = 'document saved' redirect(URL(r=request,f='review', args = form.vars.id)) elif form.errors: response.flash = 'page not saved' return dict(form=form) def review(): thistask=db((db.task.id==request.args[0])&(db.task.auth_user_id ==session.auth.user.id )).select()[0] return dict(body = thistask.body) IN VIEWS (there are two files) create_text.html (view to create text) {{=form}} review.html (view to edit text) {{=body}} --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
