What format for text fields?

[David Blomstrom]

I recently started experimenting with the text field.
It generally works OK, but I have a question about
pasting in the text.

It seems a little awkward in phpMyAdmin, and I
generally wind up with everything mushed together like
this:

<p clsas="first"><span class="dropcap">V</span>ermont
is nicknamed the &#8220;Green Mountain
State.&#8221;</p><p>It is a beautiful place to
live.</p>

It would be easier to proofread and modify if it
looked like this:

<p clsas="first"><span class="dropcap">V</span>ermont
is nicknamed the &#8220;Green Mountain
State.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is a beautiful place to live.</p>

I was just curious how most of you do it. Do you just
dump in your text, or do you go to extra lengths to
make sure each paragraph begins on a new line in your
database? Whay code do you use for line breaks, so it
looks neat when you preview your source code on a web
page?

Thanks.
