I currently have

```
<textarea id="Commentary" rows="5" cols="40" runat="server"></textarea>

```

Then in the event

```
insertCommand.Parameters["@Commentary"].Value = "<pre>" + Commentary.Value + "</pre>";

```

If I entered into the HTML input box, for example

* new line 1
* new line 2
* New line 3

It puts that into the SQL field as 
```
 - new line 1  - new line 2  - new line 3
```

How do I keep things like line breaks? I will be displaying the data in a table, so I want to keep things such as line breaks.

Thanks,
