[TYPO3] configuring a plugin via backend

[Antonio Reher]

I have done some work with FlexForms and they seem to be working. I'm 
having a small problem, however:

when I input the text via RTE, it saves in database without <p> and 
<div> marks, so when I type it there are no line breaks.
if RTE source shows <p>par 1</p><p>par 2</p>, it saves par 1\npar2, and 
that's what my plugin outputs.

Is there a function that transforms back to <p></p>?

Thanks!

Antonio
