How to keep paragraph breaks

[eluser]Mike Cocklin[/eluser]
Ok,

I am new to CI but I really love it already. I guess I am missing something but here is my problem.

I have two text areas that I am posting to fields in my database. If I create paragraphs within the text boxes and save them to the database and look at the raw value of the field I get the folowing

'This is the second paragraph. It will let me know what happens now. Maybe it will look really bad.\n\nI really hope it doesn\'t as i don\'t know what i will do if it does.'

Note the \n\n

When i echo this back to a view I can't see any paragraph breaks What am I Missing?

Any Help would be much appreciated
