Line breaks in textarea element

Question

This is PURE HTML. (no php or anything like that, if you want to know the background its a C# application with HTML in a web view).

All my HTML files are nicely formatted and correctly indented for maintainability and such.

Here is an excerpt:

<tr>     <td class="label">Clinic Times:</td>     <td><textarea name="familyPlanningClinicSessionsClinicTimes">Monday:     Tuesday:     Wednesday:     Thursday:     Friday:     Saturday:     Sunday:</textarea></td> </tr> 

The line breaks in the <textarea></textarea> element are there to get the line breaks on the page. However it also includes the indentation in the textarea element.

e.g.

The only way I can think to remove this issue is to remove the indentation. Its not the end of the world, but is there another way, to keep the nice formatting? Thanks.

Answer 1

You could use the 
 (it means new line in html) but maybe that's not a nice formatting, like you said...
