Hello chris,

Ah! PHP surprise me everyday with 'out of the box' solutions. Thanks 
a lot for the pointer.

I made some mods to my function and its working as expected.

   function formateTexte ($texte, $ajouteParagraphes=1) {

       $texte = trim ($texte);

       # translate accented chars to html entities
       # keep html tags
       $table = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);
       $table['<'] = '<';
       $table['>'] = '>';
       $texte = strtr ($texte, $table);
      
       if ($ajouteParagraphes) {
         # add <p>
         $texteElements = preg_split ("/\
(\\s)+/U", $texte);
         $nouveauTexte = "";
         foreach ($texteElements as $item) {
           #be sure to strip control chars
           $item = trim ($item);
           if ( strlen ($item) != 0 ) {
             $nouveauTexte .= "<p>$item</p>";
           }
         }
         # add <br /> and 2 newlines after </p>
         $table = null;
         $texte = nl2br($nouveauTexte);
         $table["</p>"]    = "</p>\
\
";
         $texte        = strtr ($texte, $table);
       }
       return $texte;
   }

This list rocks!

Cheers
-Emmanuel
