It depends on what do you want to do. If you want to do some intellligent formatting for your strings, then check out redcloth http://www.whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/redcloth/ If you just want to output your string "as-is", why not put "<pre>" - tags around it.

It is not working... I think that it look for ''\n'' in the text and not a line break.

I want somethink simple.
Receibe one text in a textfield and show this text in a html page.
But textfield use \n to break lines and html pages <br>
.gsub(''\n'',''<br />'') don''t
work...
What more can I try??
Thank you

Pedro Valentini wrote:> > It not work, > use <%= simple_format(@your_text_variable) %> > this helper convert to html...Glad you found something that works. For your reference, ''\n'' is the two ASCII characters \ and n whereas "\n" is a newline. Note the different between single- and double-quoting. jeremy
