record to RTF linefeed problem.

Hi, looks like a classic problem, but can't find a real solution anywhere. Im using the Ruby rtf plugin. I get a record from the DB with in there a large textfield, WITH linefeeds. (I can see them in de record in phpadmin.) when I export my recordfield to rtf, all the linefeeds/HR/CR 's are gone.

I've tried all sorts of variantions of this

string = @visit.besproken new_string = string.gsub(/\n/,'\par') document.paragraph << "#{new_string}"

But nothing really works. Is there a sort of standard way of doing this? I've been going through all my RoR-books, and searching the forum, but it stays out of reach.

Many thanks for any suggestion. This forum rocks.
