I want to make a program to convert plain text to a specific format in html, but i can't make it so it recognizes where the paragraf is and then turn it into a '<br \>'.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What I have tried:

I've tried adding a <br \> after every dot (.), but then the text would be to short, and tried to recognized the " ", but it just didn't work.

If you are just looking to replace new line characters with your break, try this:

C#

private string Convert(string input)
{
  return input.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br/>");
}

Does it convert the new lines automatically or does it need to be called?

like: 'Convert();'?

You'll have to call it.
