Thanks Albert, just tried your suggestion, but it didn't create the newlines "<br>".
Also, because the intended input will be like a forum post (like bbcode), I doubt I would like MARKMIN to force newlines with spaces (has to be user-friendly, right?) Unless of course MARKMIN is not meant for this use, then I will have to look for other ways to markup the text input. Any suggestions or pointers in this area is welcome!
