However when I want to display this field in HTML I have a problem that
its all bunched into 1 paragraph, obviously because there are no <p> or
<br> tags telling the browser there is a space in between, 1 way to get
this to work is to to insert <p> or <br> statements in the paragraph but
when the user then edits the paragraph in the textarea it will show the
<p> or <br> tags which i dont want, they are end users and will probably
delete them. Is there a way to get around this?? either displaying the
blank line or by hiding the HTML tags in the textarea (but still saving
the paragraph with them in)
