text problem in text area

Our users send passages in to my database using a text area. When I want to re put them on web page in a fmp-field, tabs and blank lines can not be seen as in a text are so the shape of my passage collapses.

What can I do to put my text coming from db on my pages as I sent them to database in a text area without using a text area which limits the length of my passage and force my users use scrollers and avoid printing them.

For the text to display on the web, create a calculation field. If the comment field is 'comment', create one called 'comment_html', for instance. It should be a calculation set to:

Substitute(comment, "***new paragraph symbol***", "<br>").

In your CDML, the tag will look like: [FMP-field: comment_html, Raw].
