I sit behind bars in a wet dungeon. Fed up in captivity, the eagle is young, My sad friend, flapping his wing, Blood food pecks under the window,

Bloody food pecks under the window

    nl2br() Maybe this will help you - ArchDemon
  • @DantheHat is not as simple as it would seem. Poems can send ordinary users. Therefore, manually put the tags at the end of the lines does not roll. - SNuSNuMR1996
  • @ SNuSNuMR1996 well then, in truth, process the nl2br() th line before being thrown into the base. Well, or as an option - fasten to the text field some редактор that rewrites on the machine in html . - Dan the Hat

Use: nl2br - Inserts HTML line break before each line break

  1. Tell the browser not to format the verse. Wrap a <pre> tag or set white-space: pre; for the style (css) of the element in which the poem is displayed.

  2. Alternatively, you can use nl2br .

But then this is not formatted.
