XtScript Function: br2nl and nl2br

XtScript br2nl is a function of XtScript that will manipulate a string to replace all HTML line breaks (<br>) with newlines character (\n).

Otherwise, XtScript nl2br function will insert HTML line break tags (<br/>) before all newline characters. Notice that newline characters will not be deleted after the process.

XtScript br2nl and nl2br function basic syntax:

<!--parser:xtscript-->
	# Convert all HTML line break tags into newlines
	call br2nl $val=...; $is_xhtml=...

	# Insert HTML line break tags before all newlines
	call nl2br $val=...
<!--/parser:xtscript-->

Additional parameter on XtScript br2nl function:

• $is_xhtml=...
  Value = 0 (false) or 1 (true).
  If $is_xhtml=1, we are telling the script to follow XHTML strict where unclosed line break tags (<br>) is not a valid line break thus will not be converted into newline character. Then $is_xhtml=0 is the reverse, where both closed (<br/>) and unclosed (<br>) line breaks will be replaced with newlines character.
