How to display a string the way it was entered ( w return new line)
On input in a text area, the user can se the return key which generate
a \r\n inside the string
the address is stored per se the way it was keyed in ..
@partner[:bank_location]
=> "92, Place Honoré d''Urfé\r\n35140, La
Chapelle-Saint-Aubert"
When displaying it inside a table cell, the \r\n is ignored , and the
generated html is :
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Adresse</td>
<td colspan="2">
92, Place Honoré d''Urfé
35140, La Chapelle-Saint-Aubert
</td>
</tr>
but it''s not displayed like that ...
I rather get :
Adresse 92, Place Honoré d''Urfé 35140, La Chapelle-
Saint-Aubert
Is there a way to modify this behavior or should I gsub the string to
insert html <br> tags ??
thanks for feedback

OK thanks , thats'' what I thought initially... as you defined a function .. and I''ll define a function .. and many others have done before us .. this could have been defined in the core String class...
