This is one of those problems thats probably too simple to be written
down somewhere and that is why I cant find it in any help or through
google.
I have a model which has a description. This description is entered
through a text_area (multiline). For example:
===
This is line one.
This ie line two
Now whenever I want to display this value read-only in one of my views I
cant simply do <%= @model.description %>. This will cause the text to be
printed as:
‘This is line one.This is line two’
How do I get the text to be displayed correctly with, I guess, HTML
and other escape characters included? Im sure there should be a
helper or something that accomplishes this already in Rails 2.3.2
