Hi Johnathan,

Try this out:

// function to replace line breaks in FM output with <br /> or <p> elements

function formatDesc($input)
{
$br = chr(10); // single line feed character (LF)
$p = "<br />\n<br />\n";
$badChars = array($p, "& ");
$goodChars = array("</p>\n\t\t<p>", "&amp; ");
$text = str_replace($br, "<br />\n", $input); // replace LF with <br />

$description = str_replace($badChars, $goodChars, $text);
echo "<p>" . $description . "</p>\n";
}

Modify it as you need to!
