A common task when replacing including text stored in 4D into a web page is to account for line endings so that text break appear the same on the web page as they do when displayed in a text block within 4D.

The problem is that there are three possible line endings that will need to be accounted for...

• Window -- Carriage Return plus Line Feed (\r\n)


• UNIX -- Line feed (\n)


• Macintosh -- Carriage Return (\r)

// Take care of possible line endings in the block of text    // and replace with the HTML break tag    // C_TEXT(TEXT_Buffer_T) TEXT_Buffer_T:=Replace string([MyTable]MyText;"\r\n";"<br>")   // Windows CRLF TEXT_Buffer_T:=Replace string(TEXT_Buffer_T;"\n";"<br>")   // Unix new line TEXT_Buffer_T:=Replace string(TEXT_Buffer_T;"\r";"<br>")   // Mac carriage return

To account for the html markup that has been inserted into the text, the 4D HTML Tag "#4DHTML" will have to be used instead ot the tag "#4DTEXT" so that the html tag "<br>" will not translated into unicode representations.

<div class='myDetail'><!--#4DHTML TEXT_Buffer_T--></div>
