This is the CF_ParagraphFormat tag I wrote cause I hated the way
ParagraphFormat() outputs code.
Basically you get the user to enter their text in a TEXTAREA, save it as a
memo field and then wrap CF_ParagraphFormat around the variable. It finds
double carriage return/line feeds, formats them with P tags with whatever
style info you supplied and reformats single carriage return/line feeds with
BRs.
Usage
=======================
<CF_ParagraphFormat Style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;
">#YourMemoFieldHere#</CF_ParagraphFormat>
CF_ParagraphFormat
=======================
<CFPARAM NAME="attributes.Style" DEFAULT="">
<CFSET variables.Style="">
<CFIF Len(attributes.Style)>
<CFSET variables.Style = " STYLE=""" & attributes.Style & """">
</CFIF>
<CFIF ThisTag.ExecutionMode is "end">
<CFSET ThisTag.GeneratedContent = "<P" & variables.Style & ">" &
Replace(Replace(ThisTag.GeneratedContent, Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) &
Chr(10), "</P><P" & variables.Style & ">", "ALL"), Chr(13) & Chr(10),
"<BR>", "ALL") & "</P>">
</CFIF>
