<cfif IsDefined("FORM.myTextArea")> 
    Your text area, formatted 
    <cfoutput>#ParagraphFormat(FORM.myTextArea)#</cfoutput> 
</cfif> 
<!--- use #Chr(10)##Chr(13)# to simulate a line feed/carriage 
return combination; i.e, a return ---> 
<form action = "paragraphformat.cfm"> 
<textArea name = "MyTextArea" cols = "35" ROWS = 8>
