Changed show view to display simple_format instead of <pre>

[radiokills]

When large amount of text are inserted in - lets say - textarea, each paragraph is single line and it's extended well over the browser's edge.

I've changed the

 tag with div and formated the text with rails helper 'simple_format' and inserted it in div element with 'field_content' css style. Also created css style tag.

Reverted in 3d5bb94

ActionView::Template::Error (can't dup Symbol):
    12:               %dt.label{:class => "#{field.type_css_class} #{field.css_class}"}= field.label
    13:               %dd
    14:                 .field_value{:class=>field.css_class}
    15:                   = simple_format(field.pretty_value)
  actionpack (3.2.8) lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb:268:in `dup'
  actionpack (3.2.8) lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb:268:in `simple_format'

I guess field.pretty_value is not always a string?

I see the changes for this were reverted. Is there a workaround?
