More ideas for intresting functions specialy for websites:
- nl2span($text, $array_of_arguments_for_span)
- nl2div($text, $array_of_arguments_for_div)
- obfuscate_mailaddr($mail_addr).
Intresting for users that need such functions on several places in code and in
this case better as regexp in PHP itself. Why not take this ideas and put
together into ext/html(format)?

function nl2p($str) {
return ''.preg_replace('/\r\n|\n|\r/', '$0', $str).'';
}
I think that function is not neccessary... nl2br is already redundant.
They are one-liners in php itself... so no need to write functions for
them.

I'm not to judge whether this goes in or not, however using
paragraphs is not more standard compliance than breaks. Breaks
aren't deprecated in the current version of HTML.
It's about semantics, not about standard compliance. This should be
called by the right name if it's used.
