and use either the <pre> tag or the nlbr() function depending upon
what you want to do with the output. Both solutions [1 and 2] provide
different ways to handle data. Number [3] simply creates another
problem you, or someone else, will have to deal with later on.
Actually, after reading the other posts with respect to what he's trying
to do, I would use nl2br() unless I specifically needed <pre></pre>.

That would be my first choice as well. However, one can style a <pre>
tag whereas it's very difficult (if not impossible) to style what
goes in between <br /> tags.
Also, one can generate validation errors using "<br />" because there
are three different varieties of the tag, namely "<br>", "<br />",
and "<br/>" -- all of which can be used in different settings. I
don't remember which doctypes go with which version (xhtml requires
/>), but I've run into that problem before.
