Rainer Krauss	Friday 10 July 2009 8:14:39 am Dear all, I'm importing a website into my Exponential installation. Some of the content goes into body content fields of eZXMLObject type. That content has some HTML formatting. My customer asked me to preserve the br tags. Can I do that, and how? It's not in the documentation. Best wishes, Rainer
Rainer Krauss	Monday 13 July 2009 12:27:54 am Yes, it is possible to import <br /> tags into eZXLMObjects - even though it's not mentioned as one of the allowed tags in the documentation at http://ez.no/developer/forum/developer/how_to_import_html_into_an_ezxmlobject

You could also use a textarea datatype instead to allow for html storage directly. Though I recommend against that for primary text content use along with most of the folks who use Exponential (which may be why this topic is so quiet). Basically you need to convert br tags into another form in order to preserve this element during content storage.

Can I do that, and how? It's not in the documentation.

Best wishes,
