[Phpwebsite-developers] $add_breaks = SMART;

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

Over the last few days I've been working with a site with lots of html in blocks, 
announcements and page sections and I've been occasionally coming up against 
phpWebSite's insistence or not of converting breaks/linefeeds to <br /> tags. It's most 
annoying in forms and tables.

In textsettings.php you can switch it off, but it's still handy for users so they don't have to 
type html so that's not an option really.

Is there a middle way?

Is was wondering what the effect would be of allowing a SMART setting which checked the 
content for tags such as the ones in $allowed_tags and then if found, switched off the 
conversion?

It should be a fairly simple change in the core but I was wondering if it was that simple, had I 
overlooked something. ;-)
