Hi all, I have a php script which produces text which is to be displayed in a textarea. I have the wrap for the text area set to 'hard'. I need to have newlines inserted in the text. 
    "\n" and "<br>" don't work.  They just get quoted literally in the text.  I suspect I need to use htmlspecialchars , but don't know what special character to feed it.

    Apologies if this should go to an HTML forum.  I checked several archives and did not find anything useful.  (They tended to tell me to put in \n or <br>!)

    Thanks
Mary Anderson
