title: Newlines in textareas being ignored
body: <p>Okay so here is a strange issue that is pretty common but I cannot seem to find a fix anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>I am pulling data from a database TEXT field to display in a textarea for editing. But the textarea will not display blank lines.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>DATABASE DATA</p>
  
  <pre><code>This is a line of text
  
  this is another line of text with a line break above.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>THIS IS WHAT SHOWS IN TEXTAREA</p>
  
  <pre><code>This is a line of text
  this is another line of text with a line break above.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know a way to make the blank line actually be represented in the actual HTML textarea.</p>
