~ works as a replacement for = that runs the find_and_preserve helper,
which replaces newlines in textareas with the HTML newline escape char.
It doesn't do anything if the text doesn't contain a <textarea> (or
similar whitespace-preserving) tag. If you want to preserve a manually
generated textarea, call find_and_preserve helper manually and pass it a
block:
= find_and_preserve do
%textarea= stuff
