Can define a line break in MF3 or 4?

Subject: Can define a line break in MF3 or 4?

I'm trying to create a text-based email tool that will reformat a paragraph of text, so that none of the lines are more than 65 characters wide and have line breaks inserted after them.

I've used the flatten fields to get the double line breaks to show up. Is there a command I can use that will get the single line breaks to show up?

Here's what I've got so far ...

(and if I can't do it with the cgi ... is there another way? javascript maybe?)

: )

Beth, try putting a wrap="hard" attribute into the <textarea...> tag. That should automatically insert a hard line break wherever the text wraps.

Let me know if it doesn't work; we'll tackle it from a different direction.
