I truly believe that nl2br would be a most excellent taglib. Already my web developer has thanked me 10 times for making this tag for him. Here is why. Often times the jsp developer needs to include a large about of descriptive text with paragraph breaks. Normally he/she would have to flood the document with <br /> tags to get the formatting (or <p> tags or whatever). By using this tag, the jsp developer can just type
<filter:nl2br>This is a lot of text But I need to have breaks in the text But I want to just copy from the text editor and not have to do further work.</filter:nl2br> I am thinking the filter could do other things, such as wordwrap, perhaps nl2p for <p> tags around the line break sections, and a horde of other options. Any one think a filter taglib set would be a good idea? If we are out to save the jsp developers time, this seems like a viable solution to me. I will post the code if anyone is interested, but it wanted that complex.
