There're two helpers available to deal with this. They both work by
replacing newlines with the HTML character code for a newline, thus
avoiding Haml's auto-indentation while keeping the output relatively
nice-looking. The first is called "preserve", which just replaces all
newlines. The second is called "find_and_preserve", which replaces all
newlines within whitespace sensitive tags, like pre and textarea. So,
for example, you could do:
= find_and_preserve text_area_tag("foo", "bar\nbar\nbar")
There's also a shortcut for "= find_and_preserve": the ~ character.
~ text_area_tag "foo", "bar\nbar\nbar"
Hope that helps!
