Thanks for the tag. I hadn't know about this one.

However, this isn't going to do what I want. I have hundreds of lines of text, each
line its own individual paragraph. I can't put a <br> into each line and get
what I need. The point where the break will come will depend in part on how
the user configures his browser, me thinks. 

Would there be a way with javascript to automatically reformat each line,
depending on the settings of the browser?
