   Hi,

   In one of my field descriptions I have a <br /> that gets removed every time I edit and save the form.
   This forces me to rewrite that <br /> every time I edit the form before saving it.

   Can you please explain me where this what I suppose is a preg_replace is done and/or how to disable it?

   Greetings.

   Hi Willy,

   What version of MachForm are you currently using?
   I suggest to update your machform to the latest version (v2.3), so that you won't need to manually write
   tag. New lines should be translated automatically to

   You can download it from customer area.

   Hi Yuniar,

   I am using 2.3.

   Maybe I should have been more specific. I am talking about the "Guidelines for user" field.

   I introduce a long description containing html. I just tried your suggestion but no <br /> is placed where I made a linebreak using enter key. I checked this viewing the source code.

   Ah... yes, you are righ. The guidelines doesn't seem to translate the new lines into break. Only the field labels does.

   The fix is very simple, edit your includes/view-functions.php file, search around line 1656 for this code:

   $element[$j]->guidelines 	= $row['element_guidelines'];

   change it to become:

   $element[$j]->guidelines 	= nl2br($row['element_guidelines']);

   that will translate the new lines into breaks.

   Thank you,

   That fixed the issue. I discovered another instance of $element[$j]->guidelines = $row['element_guidelines']; around line 1324. I changed that one too.

   Is that correct?
