Show "Carry Return" or \n\r correctly

[Eric Ponce]

Hi!

When I write a text into a text area with a some new lines or carry returns (i dont know wich is the correct word to describe \n\r) like this:

Example text:

----------------------------------

Hello

This is my text

With some carry returns

--------END--------------------

and later I save it into a mongodb, this saves for example "Hello\n\rThis is my test\n\r\n\rWith....."

But later with EJS when i try to print, the text is printed in plain text: "Hello This is my text With some...."

How can I print correctly?

Thanks!

Can you copy and paste the template code?

Even better, can you show me the generated HTML?

Mongo db -> "description" : "Text1\r\nText2\r\n\r\nText3"

Template -> <p><%= some.description; %></p> or <p><%- some.description; %></p>

HTML Generated:

<p>Text1
	Text2
	Text3</p>

But I see: Text1 Text2 Text3

Within a p tag you would need <br> tags. You could use a <pre> tag instead of <p> or you could use an html encoder to change \r\n to <br> and \t to four spaces (&nbsp;&nbsp;) 

I was looking and I'm not sure geddy has something for this. I would expect EJS to have something.

Is this valid? <p><%- some.description.replace(/\r\n/g,"<br>"); %></p>
