You'll need to set the escape="false" attribute on the outputtext to tell VF to render out the HTML.  This does introduce a security issue though, especially if the user is allowed to enter whatever they like into this property - see the following doc for more details:

Hi Bob,

 

We create a single page and a controller in which 'isEditMode' Boolean decides the page is Detail Page or it is an Edit Page.

1. We first keep isEditMode = True as the User will enter the information, We will have a Save button there click on which will Save the Case Record . We use inputFields and inputText to get the information from the users.

2. Once It is clicked on Save , isEditMode becomes False and Now you render the Page to show the 2nd part of the code which takes the ID of the above created case and shows everything with OutPut FIeld and OutPutLabel.

 

But, the whole text of long text area is not displaying in the page block of the VF Page. I used <apex:outputField> as well as <apex:outputText>. But, i am not able to fix the issue to show the whole text on the VFPage.

 

Kindly suggest and help me to fix this issue.

 

Regards,

Kumar
