Hi shenden,

The API will return \n for new lines. You can sub those out with whatever you're doing in your app (ie. <p> tags if it's HTML).

Cheers.

Hey Travis! Thanks for the quick response!

Yeah I guessed it was something like that, but I still don't get exactly how? Im writing out the data this way: var jjBio = '

' + data.biography + '

? Sorry again, Im really new at this.

Hi Shenden,

There's a few ways you can do this. I am most familiar with Ruby so I can really only provide some examples with it.

Lets say you had a string:

2.2.3 :016 > string = "This is a biography and the first line.\n\nThis is the second line."
 => "This is a biography and the first line.\n\nThis is the second line."

You could do:

2.2.3 :017 > string.split("\n\n").map { |a| a.prepend('<p>').concat('</p>') }.join
 => "<p>This is a biography and the first line.</p><p>This is the second line.</p>"

You could also use something like Markdown, which is what I actually do on the website (using RedCarpet):

2.2.3 :018 > Redcarpet::Markdown.new(Redcarpet::Render::HTML).render(string)
 => "<p>This is a biography and the first line.</p>\n\n<p>This is the second line.</p>\n"

Hope that helps.
