 * Hi!
 * I set up a custom textarea field in the user edit profile screen using this tutorial:
   [http://sumitbansal.com/scripts/adding-custom-user-profile-fields-in-wordpress/](http://sumitbansal.com/scripts/adding-custom-user-profile-fields-in-wordpress/)
 * Now, how can I set it to allow some basic html formatting, so that it accepts
   linebreaks and links?
 * Help would be highly appreciated!
