[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Line Breaks (Windows/UNIX)

[Andrew Morrison]

How have you managed to get the UNIX LF-only line breaks to work in the 
staff interface view mode? Normally, web browsers don't render them. 
Have you used CSS? Or are you searching and replacing them with HTML br 
tags?


Andrew.
