I've installed RTFM, following the install instructions by creating a
class, creating a custom text field, and assigning rights.  The problem
is that text entered doesn't seem to print very well.  My custom field
is of the Text type.  When I enter text like so:

- -----------
This is a

1. test of
2. RTFM text
3.    formatting.
- -----------

What I see when I view the article is this:

- -----------
This is a 1. test of 2. RTFM text 3. formatting.
- -----------

Which makes it hard to read pre-formatted text.  Now is something wrong
with my installation, or is this Working As Intended?  If so, then I
guess I'll just stick in a text output filter in the code, so that
carriage returns (\n) are replace with (<br>\n) and more than one space
is replaced with (<space> ).  It just doesn't make sense to me that
this is the way that it was intended to work, since any text with any
formatting, even just paragraph breaks, is all jumbled together.  Any
insight is appreciated.

Thanks,
Nate
