Text Area Control and Line Break Rendering

Hello!

I have a form with a Text Area, and the end users paste text from a Word Document into it.

As expected, the line breaks are ignored when the content is pasted in, resulting in each paragraph being rendered as one long string.

I'm wondering if I can write a Rule to have the data in my Text Area processed by a Rule and then populated into a new Control where the end user can see the properly rendered text.

Seems plausible, maybe possible and if I'm lucky it will not be that bad!

SO, what do you think?

Thanks!

  Hello Chris,

  The TextArea control in frevvo is a standard HTML textarea field. All browsers handle this behavior in their own specific manner. For example, if you try the same frevvo form in Internet Explorer or Edge browsers, you will see the the text automatically wraps to next line when it reaches the field length.
  
  So unfortunately, this is currently not controlled by frevvo and will depend on which browser you are using.
