text within <textarea>...</textarea> should preserve line breaks

also, preformatted text (< pre >)
Same Issue here...
Can be easily done by identifying the <pre> and <textarea> tags and not indenting their contents.
The problem is that the text flow behaviour depends on the CSS property line-break. This fix will address <textarea> input value problem, but will not do anything about other elements that have line-break: pre set.
Yes, the CSS property line-break makes the problem practically undecidable.
As a workaround, we could use a configuration option to set the tag names that must be preserved, with a default of ['script', 'textarea', 'pre']
+1 to a configuration option for skipping specific tags. I ran into this problem with <pre> tags today.
