Plain Text Formatter

Utility that takes some plain text, and transforms linebreaks to html breaks

<script language="javascript">

function ptf_format() {

var pre = document.ptf.pre;

var post = document.ptf.post;

var pretext = pre.value;

pretext = pretext.split("\n");

pretext = pretext.join("<br>");

//pretext = pretext.split(" ");

//pretext = pretext.join(" ");

post.value = pretext;

}

</script>

Notice the two lines that are commented out, these are there in case you also want to transform spaces into HTML non breaking spaces (thus preserving whitespace formatting also)
