Formatting hyperlinks and paragraphs

I'm in the middle of developing a simple blogger utility and have a
question:

Among my templates I have 2: one which transforms text to hyperlinks and
another which preserves line breaks.

Ideally I want my result to show a nicely formatted blog entry where
hyperlinks work and line breaks are formatted correctly.

I'm having some difficulty getting this to work.  Both templates work
separately, but not together.

Any input would be appreciated,

Regards,

Pete
