Personally, I think that multiline would be better off returning a read-only
textarea than the <pre></pre> it does today; it would at least preserve the
layout of the page better. If you could file a Sourceforge bug and assign
it to me, it'll help me remember to make that change...provided there are
no objections.

A version of multiline, fixed to allow what Richard suggested in the email thread, has been checked in to CVS. I've also attached the diff to this bug so Tonu can just apply it.

Justus,   thanks for this quick patch!  I applied it to my templating.py and tested it with my tracker.  The text still appeared in one long line for the user who only had view rights to the field.  I think this is because (as you so  mention earlier) that the text is displayed in <pre></pre> tags instead of in a text area.  The wrap keyword argument I think only applies to the textarea.  Would it be possible to return the text in a text area?

Thank you,
Tonu
