    Hi,
    Can someone telle me please why in my case the nl2br operator (and the break operator) just place the "<br />" after the newline, and keep the newline present in the string ?
    Exemple :
    Grenland
    består av fire
    kommuner
    gives me :
    Grenland<br />
    består av fire<br />
    kommuner<br />
    Thanks.
