I’m looking for the right combination of view helpers to get the following:
-carriage returns converted to
-any URL’s converted to links
-allow for embed tags
-sanitize any other tags or scripts
I know its kind of demanding 
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
-carriage returns converted to <br />
Simple gsub()
-any URL's converted to links
gsub() with regular expression
-allow for embed tags -sanitize any other tags or scripts
white_list plugin (http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/white_list/)
Hope this helps.
