[support] Complex CCK data type - multiple fields

[Jean Gazis]

I have another CCK question: how do I make fields show line breaks (hard
returns)? I am geting everythign running on one line and I don't see
anywhere to set the input format. Also I don't want the end users to have to
put in html themselves.
