How to convert \ r \ n to <p> using a simple format in Ruby on Rails?
Now he just adds
\r\n\r\n
I'm trying to figure out how to convert
\r \n to <p> tags
HTML is sent to DB via XHR, and a post in firebug shows this as follows:
html:
<html><head>\r\n<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8>\r\n</head>\r\n<body>\r\n<pre style=word-wrap:break-word; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Tahoma; color:black>YADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADA!\n\n YADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADAYADA YADA YADA.\n\nYADA YADA YADA\n\n< via mobile device >\n\nYADA YADA YADA <xxxx@xxxxx.com> wrote:\n\n</pre>\r\n<div>\r\n<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width=700 style=padding:0;>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td colspan=2 style=color:#000000;font-size:11px;font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif valign=top>\r\n<div style=width:100%;font-size:12px;font-family:Helvetica;line-height:18px;>..... and it keeps going.
But when I use simple_format:
body = simple_format(@html)
I get this:
<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre>YADA YADA YADAYAD........
Why doesn't simple_format get rid of \ r and \ n and use paragraphs?
Thank you for your time.
