No, you don't have to change the type of field. If you want more HTML
embedded, you could save those HTMLs together w/ the text in your
database, or... if you just want the <br /> tags, then, assuming your
text has a new line character (\n), you have to do some sort of substitution.
Forexample, in Perl you could do the following:
my $text = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT text_field FROM table_name WHERE id=?",
undef, $id);
$text =~ /\n/<br>/g;
