[FX.php List] Line breaks in text fields

Hello all,

I'm working with a FileMaker 8 database that has some text fields with
line breaks in them. That is, when doing the data entry in FileMaker
Pro, some of my users are hitting "Enter" a couple of times to create
paragraphs that are separated by a blank line. But when I do a query and
display those fields with FX.php, the line breaks disappear and the text
runs together where there should be a space. Is there a way to detect
and parse these line breaks as "<br>" tags so that they will display as
intended? Alternately, is there a different way I can I train my data
entry people to enter the text so as to achieve the same effect?

Thanks for any help...
