tf_ianr Convert carriage returns to html line-breaks in a long text field
If I'm binding a text field into a VisualForce page, whats a good way to convert the carriage returns in the text-field into HTML <br/> tags?
I can think of a few ways of doing it, but I'm wondering what the neatest way is.

I eventually solved this by writing a load of code.

Try this:
<apex:outputField value="{!case.Description}"/>
Using output fields will maintain formatting automagically.I tried this and I couldn't get it to work.
When case.Description contains carriage returns, apex: outputField does not maintain the formatting.
