Add filter ‘wpautop’ to meta box textarea

I’m using –this tutorial– to add simple meta boxes to a custom post type. But the textarea meta boxes are spitting out content all as one big paragraph, with no <p> formatting applied.

What code would add the –wpautop filter– to the meta box textarea? Thanks for any help.

  1. Add a function that grabs your meta data, applies wpautop and echoes it out, or otherwise run it through when you output it in your template.

    $my_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_my_meta',TRUE);
    echo $my_meta['name'];
    echo wpautop( $my_meta['description'], 1 );
