Hello:

I am using postgres 7.35 on a Linux 9.0 PC. I am trying to create a technical intranet using the postgresql database for the information. When I type in a solution to a problem all of the text runs together. An example would be:1. Text here 2. Text here 3. Text here.


I would like it to look like the following.


Problem:


Solution:


1. Text here

2. Text here

3. Text here


Any help would be appreciated


Thank you

Is this on a web page?  If so, you need to replace new lines with <BR>
tags.  What language are you using to do this?  If it's PHP, there's a
pgsql-php list just for that language that's pretty nice.
