[mapserver-users] WMS_ABSTRACT line breaks

[Jeff McKenna]

I'm not aware of such functionality inside MapServer; however I do 
handle this regularly within my applications (OpenLayers actually), 
usually through a PHP script that on-the-fly gets the remote service's 
abstract values (for the MAP and LAYER objects) and then cleans it 
appropriately (escaping single quotes ' double-quotes " and line feeds 
\r \n).  Maybe this is opposite of what you need, but, it is somewhat 
similar :)
