Re: re:linebreak

Hy there everyone on the board 8), just a new listviewer droppign in. In case of displaying \n that are stored in a variable or com from a DB or inptu field you can also use nl2br($var) which automatically converts those linebreaks to <br> and so get displayed correctly. Though that will not work for the tabs.
