    Problem with display textbox multiple in XSLT

    Hi All

    I am using Umbraco 4.5.2 and have a textbox multiple in the document properties.

    When I try to display the content in web page with XSLT, it ignores my "return" and keep all text in one line instead.

    My xslt code is like below:

    <h1><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/quote" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></h1>

    Can you help me with that?

    Thank you

    Jing

    Jing,

    I assume you are using a multi-line text box (rather than the rich text editor). If so you will need to convert the line breaks to html <br/> tags. Something like this:

    <xsl:value-of select='umbraco.library:Replace($currentPage/quote, "&#x0a;", "&lt;br/&gt;" )' disable-output-escaping='yes'/>

    Well, as there is no HTML in a textbox, it will not convert simple line-breaks to a html "<br />" either.

    But there's an XSLT extension for that! Try this:

    <h1><xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:ReplaceLineBreaks($currentPage/quote)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></h1>

    @Paul Haha, almost the same answer, ReplaceLineBreaks is a bit simpler to use though, I didn't even know it existed, but I though it'd be a common scenario, so I checked. :-) Learn something new every day.
