Hello,
How do one get a paragraph in an XMLTextField? When I write an article and I want spacing between 2 paragraphs I would assume pressing enter 1 or 2 times, but this has no effect? What could be wrong here?
Give a little hint if you know, thank you.

regards,
claÜs

Well, normally this works fine. Did you perhaps make changes in your /standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags folder?
There should be a paragraph.tpl and a br.tpl, these two should be like the original ones, they are used for making the line brakes around your xml fields and in it.

Greetings, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I have looked at the files you suggested, but they are untouched. The lines of template code below is an example on a field that will not be parsed right. The description fields is the sinners, is this how you would write it to get the paragraphs?

{default with_children=true()
is_editable=true()
is_standalone=true()}

<span class="classhead">{$node.name}</span>
<br>
<span class="classlistitem">{$node.data_map.description.data_text}
<br>
{let children=fetch('content',list,hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id))}

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="10">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
{section name=Child loop=$children}
<tr>

<td align="left"><span class="classlistitem">{$Child:item.data_map.description.data_text}</span>
</td>

best regards,

Hello again,
I think I found the solution, but I dont know why its like this:
In a template if I use the {attribute_view_gui attribute=$Child:item.data_map.description} way to write out variables, it shows the formatting. But when I use {$Child:item.data_map.description.data_text} way it dont show formatting. Why is this? Does anybody know?

cheers,
