If you need to output a HTML string (not in a textarea field), you'll need to replace "\n" with "<br>". That is why, I think that it is better to replace it before saving (You will not need to replace "\n" during the output process. It will save you some lines of code, and add productivity.). Of course, you need to be sure that your program will make HTML output more often, than any other type of output. -- Удачи! Владимир Please, avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
