Rails - Oct 2006 - How do I get line breaks in my text fields and boxes?

Hi, I''m new to programming and Ruby on Rails, hence this probably
simple
question.

I''m creating a simple recipe application, and I want to preserve the 
line breaks when a user hits "enter" between ingredients and
directions.
However, when I submit a recipe now it all shows up on one line.  Is 
there a simple way to preserve these user-generated line breaks?  As a 
followup, is it much harder to change those line breaks into ordered 
lists?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

You should try simple_format("your text") to preserve line breaks.

You can easily translate line breaks to list using String.gsub.
