Formatting text

Hello friends, I have to put results of various departments in our school website. All results will go in the Mysql database. The problem is formatting the output. I have output something like this where the numbers shown are student marks : Quote Passed with Grade A : Adm nos : 8177 9822 1750 0059 Passed with Grade B : Adm nos : 6614 8375 0837 1647 5490 3758 7388 7799 Passed with Grade C : Adm nos : 9968 0298 1297 1254 4208 4911 6194 9903 Unquote I made a multiline textboxes and used PHP script and input this in a LONGTEXT field in MySQL. Then I used PHP to output this field in a webpage. The formatting, carriage return, tabs etc are lost. Formatting is very essential in this document for us. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks Denis
