I'm not sure about the specifics, but since this question has no answers, see if these pointers help you:
If you're really set on solving this with HTML Purifier, you might be able to write a textnode transformation that does an nl2br or str_replace by writing a class that extends HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Text. Pseudocode:
class HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Text_Linebreaks extends HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Text
{
public function validate($string, $config, $context) {
$string = parent::validate($string, $config, $context);
return str_replace("\n", "<br />", $string);
}
}
The Text AttrDef may be htmlspecialchars()-ed (it'd be sane, really). Then you're out of luck with that approach. You'd have to find a way to inject a <br /> node, instead.
That might be too late in the process to give you the control you want - that changes the text nodes 'template' (so to speak), but the actual HTML definition might already happily be making use of a HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Text instance.
See if that helps you at all?
There's also a thread on the HTML Purifier forum (did you start it? I wouldn't be surprised) - nl2br, auto <br /> insertion. If you find a solution, you could post your answer there.
