Create paragraphs from text input

[d6y]

You have text with new line characters and you want to replace them with br tags for display.

Solution: if pre doesn't do what you want use:

text.split("\n").toList flatMap { Text(_) ++ <br/> } init 

Discussion:

Possibly discuss Lift's escaping safety mechnism.

Possibly discuss \n vi \r\n
Textile also supports this, but produces valid html (i.e., body tags etc). I think. Check that
