Ken,
You need to write a function that detects text paragraphs usually
delimited by two newlines and converts them to HTML paragraphs delimited
by <p> and </p>. You will also want to convert all single newlines to
<br />.
So a mysql text field like this:
Para1
Line2
Para2
Will be converted to:
<p>Para1<br />
Line2</p>
<p>Para2</p>
Someone posted a function like this to the php manual:
http://ca.php.net/nl2br
(look for "autop")
