title: How to preserve the layout of textarea in the database?
body: <p>I have a text area in html and a form to store the information in the database. When I click on submit, it supposed to take this text and save it in the database. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"This is a text and this is a list:
  1. number 1
  2. number 2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I load the information from the database it looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"This is a text and this is a list: 1. number 1 2. number 2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I keep the layout of the textarea not changed (keep the spaces, lists, etc) without the need for the user to enter any tags.</p>
