dkorba2k5 Problem with Text Formula field with BR()
With VF whenever a text formula field has a <br> in it, it's being rendered as <br>. How can we support this? These are long text fields and need to have line breaks in it.
Sam.arjYou should use the BR() function and not directly insert <br> tag into text.
dkorba2k5The formula field is using the BR() function. That's the problem here. Then when it displays in the UI it has <br> tags in it. But when we try to render it with VisualForce we get the <br;> conversion and get no line breaks and end up with junk in the text field.
dkorba2k5Interesting ... ok .. got it to work. What I had to do was in my controller replace any <br>'s in the string with <BR> and then use the outputText tag with escape="false" in order to get it to work right.
