Maintaining XML Layout

[Johnny X <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hey,


One of the fields returned from my queries (Content) is essentially the body
of an e-mail. However, it's returned as one long stream of text (or at
least, that's how it appears on the web page). Viewing the source of the
page it appears with the right layout characteristics (paragraphs, name at
end of message separate from main message etc.)

Is there anyway of making it appear this way on the web page, or is this
just a browser specific thing?



Cheers!

I think you'd need to convert line break characters in the returned string
into equivalent html tags yourself before displaying. You could also try
displaying them in a '<pre>' tag and see if it looks ok.
