A:
If you're including the string within a textarea in the view then that is odd. However, if you are just printing the string to the page, then you will need to replace newline characters with "<br/>" tags.

A:
take a look at simple_format method
i.e. <%= simple_format(params[:text]) %> or <%= simple_format(@text) %> in your erb/rhtml view code
