Message, tasks, comments text appearance

Hi,
Although you can style your message (task, comment) a bit by pressing "Enter" in right places, i.e. making lists or new lines while editing it, others will never see your formating - they will see one-line mess in "Messages" section :)
For now it can be solved by adding nl2br() function in some places in message, task and comment templates. But in future would be good to have a simple html editor.
Thanks
Just add tinymce javascript (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/) to the header and it auto changes all textareas to wysiwyg. Worked great for my company.
I also edited: application/views/task/task_list.php and removed all clean() variables to allow for html comments in tasks. All other sections dont seem to need this done.
I don't like to consider myself a complete noob, but lets just say that i've just got a copy of PP up and running, and I'd love to make the modification that you mention here. But I'm not so savvy with php and I don't know where to locate the header that i need to edit in order to accomplish this. I think I can work out the rest of this fix on my own but I need a little bit of a push in the right direction. Thanks.
Interesting, i thought all body's (or descriptions or equivalent) were formatted using Textile.
@adamluz: Yikes! Sounds very dangerous, as you could potentially be subject to malicious XSS attacks. Granted, it's all behind a login screen and you can more or less trust your employee's. But one can never be too sure. :)
(Personally i would just make sure the text was processed with Textile or Markdown. Or if i really wanted just HTML, i'd make sure all malicious tags were filtered out)
I agree that not having the messages formatted is a nuisance
Perhaps a thing for future versions of PP could be a BBcode parser with a TinyMC bbcode editor?
It's true that I don't seem to be able to find a place where it shows some syntax help but the messages and comments can be formatted using the Textile markup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_%28markup_language%29)
The tasks on the other hand don't accept formatting.
