Nope. In the db I see it as it's displayed on-screen without any <br> etc.
Strangely, before I attempted to use htmlentities, in the db, I'd see text
like:
This line<br>is broken in two.<br><br>Before this line is a double space.
Now I see:
This line
is broken in two.
Before this line is a double space.
I just KNOW I'm messing up here -- but where???
