In our last episode, Michel Beaussart <mbeaussart@charter.net>
pronounced to alt.html:

> Should I just plug some javascript into it

You could do it in Javascript, but then it won't work (read: you'll
still get the unformatted text) for those with Javascript
disabled/unavailable.

> or is there some magic html
> tricks (not in my current edition of allmighty html)?

No. HTML can't _do_ anything. It is just a lowly markup language.

The only way to *reliably* do this would be in your form handler. Once
the visitor submits the form, do your search and replace -
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php> - on the value
submitted from the textarea before generating the CSV file.

BTW: Please don't post upside down.

It would also be appreciated if you could set your newsreader to wrap
lines at a decent length. Around 76-78 characters is generally
considered reasonable.
