Thanks so much for everyone's help!
 
I tried storing the formatted text in a Rich Text field.  The carriage returns displayed on the web, but spaces and bolding were added randomly.
 
So my final solution was:
 
1) In the Notes form, added Input Translation to the text field that replaced @NewLine with "<BR>" and blank spaces with "^"
 
2) In the Xpage, used a Computed Field (HTML) that replaced the "^" with a blank space.
 
var temp=AnalysisDoc.getItemValueString("Representation");
temp.replace("^", " ");
 
The formatting comes across perfectly now.

Re: My last post on this issue ...
Hello Sally,
 
It's good to read you found a solution that works for you, although I can imagine that changing the data itself isn't what you really want.
 
I just wanted to see for myself how this worked so I created a (Notes) form with a single text field (not multi-value), added some text with line breaks and displayed it in a computed field on an XPage (added the document as a data source and used doc.getItemValue to read the data in the computed field).
 
The solution you described in your fist post worked for me: there were no &nbsp; added at all and the line breaks were displayed correctly. Here's the code I've used:

    <xp:text escape="false">
        <xp:this.converter>
            <xp:customConverter>
                <xp:this.getAsString><![CDATA[#{javascript:@ReplaceSubstring(value, "\n", "<br />")}]]></xp:this.getAsString>
                <xp:this.getAsObject><![CDATA[#{javascript:@ReplaceSubstring(value, "\n", "<br />")}]]></xp:this.getAsObject>
            </xp:customConverter>
        </xp:this.converter>
        <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:document1.getItemValue("name")}]]></xp:this.value>
    </xp:text>

(BTW: I've used Domino/Notes 8.5.2FP3)

Mark's solution
Thanks, Mark!  When I saw your post I thought, "Haven't I already tried that combination?", but then tried it again, and it worked perfectly.
 
I'm new to Xpages, and think I lost confidence and started flailing around early instead of just calming down and figuring out the elements.
 
SO MUCH BETTER than messing with the data... thanx mucho mucho for taking the time to work through it and respond.
 
Sally
