auto_typography class error? - El Forum - 07-29-2013

Slightly confused as having read up on this class/library - it's exactly what I need to format large text pulled from my database - however, the line breaks do no generate the desired results when the text is pulled from a variable.
Code:
$variable = "This is a \n paragraph";
auto_typography($variable);HTML source code:
Code:
<p>This is a \n paragraph</p>Am I missing something?

Ensure you have loaded the helper class in the autload.php or in the controller and use it like below in your controller.
Code:
$string = "Line 1 \nLine2";
$data['string'] = $this->typography->auto_typography($string);
$this->load->view('view', $data);In the view you can use the variable $string.
