autowrapping?
I have customized skins and so on. And now when I create a story, antville puts <br> as it breaks long lines. This results in extra <br>s in displayed stories. Can somebody tell me how to turn this off? I think I got this "feature" because I edited my skin but I cannot figure out what to change so that I can disable it.
TIA, -jay

actually, antville puts <wbr />s between the characters of long lines (or words, resp.), a feature which cannot be disabled and should not bother you, either. but probably i should see the output at your weblog to confirm if that's the case.

I guess what I want to disable is auto conversion of linefeed or return to <br>.
When copying text from somewhere else, text area can be too narrow to accomodate the text. Then text area would break lines and preserve hard returns of the original text and turn them into <br>s. Joining the broken lines by hand is a workaround but it gets tedious.
I'd rather if the input text is treated as html with minimal augmentation like automatic url detection but not with auto <br>.
BTW, my blog is http://notes.antville.org
thanks for your help.

when you copy text with linebreaks into a textarea and submit it, the linebreaks in fact will be turned into html<br /> tags. this is the way antville works and i think it's fine in almost every situation (ie. it can't be disabled).
this has nothing to do with the textarea because this has set the attribute wrap="virtual". i'd rather recommend to check out the source text you copy from and why it does contain hard linebreaks...
if you are copying text from e-mail you might need to edit the linebreaks manually (or with a text editor) in most cases, that's true.
