boen_robot Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Technically speaking, <br> is not a new line character, but is only rendered as such on screen.The easiest way is to add a slash before the ">" making "<br>" into "<br />". The space is only there for support in old Netscape browsers (though I'm personally pretty much used to it).If that is not feasable, you'll need to convert "<" and ">" to their entity equivalents "<" and ">" respectively.You could also turn the <br> into a new line character, that is" The quick brown fox<br>jumps over the lazy dog "will become" The quick brown foxjumps over the lazy dog "What you do depends on what you plan to use the XML for, what exactly are you allowed to do to the database, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
