This seems fairly straight forward, but I''m a newbie to rails. Can I
just write a function and pass it the "comment.body" and have it
return
the "comment.body" with all of the <br /> into line feeds?
def break_to_linefeed(text)
text.gsub("<br />","%0")
text
end
I don''t know what the line feed code is, but will something like this
work? Or is there a better way (aside from using RedCloth)??? Thanks!

So just switch the gsub params, and that''s what I''m asking - Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

text.gsub("\n","<br />")
\n means "newline".
