html - How to enable BR tag after new line in textarea -

i have textarea , want put <br/> after every enter because put data in database. in database looks this:

<pre>   text   text2   text3 </pre>  

the output in page looks like

<pre>   texttex2tex3 </pre> 

what can put <br/> if clicked enter.. or if exist solution.

when outputting saved content, can use css rule white-space: pre; on element contain content of textarea.

it's safer outputting plain html content database.
