Newlines in text_area

Rails
1

Hi @ all
I would like to enter a text with a text_area into the database. It runs
excellent. But when I want to show the entered text in the show view,
all newlines (paragraphs) are deleted and the text is only one block.

How can I save the returns (newlines) too?

Thanks for helping!!

simple_format helper can be useful :

Gives it other solutions to display the text in the originally format
with paragraphs and so on…?

simple_format does that.

Alternatively:

<%= @string.gsub("\n","
") %>
