Bizarre nl2br and line break formatting

Having studied this page for ages and tried a few functions it seems there's still issues with HTML output, in some cases nl2br outputs two line breaks.

Any ideas ? I'm at a loss !

Try this handy function:

function nl2brStrict($text, $replacement = ' < br / > '){return preg_replace("((\r\n)+)", trim($replacement), $text);}

Remove spaces in the < br / > tag. It's a normal HTML line break.
