wpautop( string $pee, bool $br = true )
Replaces double line-breaks with paragraph elements.
Description Description
A group of regex replaces used to identify text formatted with newlines and replace double line-breaks with HTML paragraph tags. The remaining line-breaks after conversion become <
> tags, unless $br is set to ‘0’ or ‘false’.
Parameters Parameters
- $pee
-
(string) (Required) The text which has to be formatted.
- $br
-
(bool) (Optional) If set, this will convert all remaining line-breaks after paragraphing.
Default value: true
Return Return
(string) Text which has been converted into correct paragraph tags.
