Display the RETURN key as a new line?

Rails
1

In a form field, if i user decides to hit enter to start new lines,
when they submit, they new lines don’t start as new lines. There is a
whole stream of text.

How do i make it so if the user hits enter during a text field, it
dispalys a new line? Thanks

thanks phillip, it looks great, but I am really relaly bad at reading
API’s (especially when im not good with a language)

Could u just explain relaly quick what I need to do to get the bare
minimums working? Thanks!

simple_format should do what you want.

wow marnen, chill ok? I read the API, but its only like 3 sentences,
and its not enough info for me to get started. I dont know wehre to
put those lines.

But now I understand, I watched one of Ryan B. tutorials, and in
it, one of the things he does is use simple_format

And let me tell u, what the api said is not comprehendible on how to
use it. without Ryan B showing us, i would not have gotten it. thanks
phillip for telling me about simple_format

You’re kidding, right? If you’re too lazy to read documentation, why
should anyone else do it for you?
