I'm using a form with a  tag.  When the form is submitted,
I want to output the value of the textarea as html, but converting
the newlines to <br> tags *only* in the display, not the actual
data.

The html.nl2br function appears to do what I want, but it alters
the data.  Meaning, I'm resubmitting the data back into another form
but it has <br> tags in it.  I basically pass the textarea data back
to another form as a hidden <input>.  The hidden input is getting <br>
tags. in it.
