Render text item with procedure call

Question

I have made several custom item types with custom attributes, and I use a procedure calls to render them in my region.
For example, the pl/sql call from the item can look like: portal.write_text and I use p_id and p_text as attribute parameters.
When I render the Text attribute it shows with no new lines (no <p>) although it is written with it in the item wizard.
How can I render the text attribute exactly as it supposed to be? (with <p>'s)

Even simpler:
procedure showTextItem (p_itemid IN INTEGER, p_siteid IN INTEGER, p_language IN VARCHAR2) is
   theText varchar2(32767);
   begin
      select i.text
         into theText
         from portal.wwsbr_all_items i
         where i.id = p_itemid
         and   i.caid = p_siteid
         and   i.is_current_version = 1
         and   i.active = 1
         and    (i.language = p_language
                    or ( exists -- a row for the item in the page group default language            
                          (select pg.id             
                           from  wwsbr_all_content_areas pg             
                           where pg.id = i.caid             
                           and   pg.default_language = i.language             
                         and not exists -- a row for the item in the current language            
                          (select i2.id             
                           from  wwsbr_all_items i2             
                           where i2.id = i.id             
                           and   i2.language = p_language
                           and   i2.is_current_version = 1
                           and   i2.active = 1             
      htp.p(theText);
   exception
      when others then htp.p(sqlerrm);
   end;Note the conditions on language, active status, and current version - you should include these conditions
whenever you query from wwsbr_all_items.
