Hi

--------

FileMaker 5.5/6

--------

I'm working on a FileMaker based content management system for our website.

I have a field called TEXT which is the body text for the news item.

People type the update in there, along with some basic HTML formatting tags like bold, italic, underline, font size, alignments.

As well as image tags and in certain cases, tables.

I have a calculation field in the database which does a substitute on the contents of TEXT replacing each line break (the backwards P thing) with "<br />

If you're only concerned about pilcrows followed by table row tags, you could also use

Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( TEXT, "

  • Author

Pilcrows that's what they're called.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've tried my calculation with several different tests and it seems to be working so far, which is all good news!

Thanks

Ben
