Tech/PHP Help Needed - Whats This Called?

[Lee]

Okay any programmer types reading this, which im certainly not LOL....

When you add 'text' in to an input box and it is already formatted in to paragraphs, etc, etc... Usually it displays on script output pages as one long, huge paragraph.

Whats the 'feature' called when you can still input plain text but keep its formatting, so that when it is output, it still shows up as individual paragraphs, without all running in to each other?

Ive seen this done before but i dont remember where or, what its called
