Hi,
Is it possible to turn \n into <br> in the Backoffice, or is it a bug (feature)?

thanks,
Bernhard

I'm guessing you are talking about object edits (article, folders etc.)?

If so all \n (endlines) are treated specially in the xml fields, for instance two endlines will create a new paragraph. See this for more doc on the xml field.

For all other strings you can use the nl2br template operator which turns newlines (\n) into breaks (br), or if you trying Exponential 3.2 you should use the break operator instead.
