Linebreaks as BR in Content editor possible?

Hi all, is there a way to enable parsing of linebreaks as BR (html) from Content.

I know it from other cms. No wysiwyg, pure html, but the parsing of linebreaks for the frontend.

Thanks

I'm not sure if I understand you right. Your clients only have a textarea to manage the content?
Then you can convert the Linebreaks with a snippet.
Create a snippet "nl2br" with the code:

In your template, you can then pass the content as input and all linebreaks are converted to br:

@Wanze: AWESOME!

Thanks a thousand

Exactly what I needed.

@Wanze: Now I tried to implement this in MODX EVO, but it does not work.

As soon as there is a =" in the content, the parser seems to break.

E.g. content: becomes and breaks the output of content!

Any ideas?

PS: Call of the snippet in modx evo with:

Btw, changing the snippet to only return the passed content leads to the same mistake!

[SOLVED] it by changing the snippet to:



naming it getContent_nl2br and calling it without arguments in the template:
[!getContent_nl2br!] [ed. note: kajus99 last edited this post 14 years, 8 months ago.]

hi kajus99,
Unfortenately I don't know much about evo.
For revolution, I just realized that there is existing already an "nl2br" output modifier for your elements, so you don't even need the extra snippet.
