Question

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to put this, but I hope someone can help. Currently I am using the "1" variable to retrieve data (text) from forms on a previous page. When the user inputs the the text, I want there to be line breaks whenever they press enter and start on a new line, and I have realized that this does not happen normally (it all appears on the same line). After some research, I came to the conclusion that using verbatim would solve the problem. However, it simply takes the variable and writes that instead, not using what the variable should show but just showing "1." Is there a way to apply verbatim to the text that the variable shows after it is evaluated? Or if not, how else would I solve this problem?

Alright, I figured out how to do it. Using the HTML "Pre" tag instead of the Verbatim tag evaluated the variable and formatted it correctly.
