Comment:

 You cannot simply add HTML code with the identation you like in the code
 and not find unexpected behaviour like this. As @truongwp has commented,
 one solution is just doing a one liner for the `textarea` part

 Another solution is to use `ob_start`
 Like this:

 {{{
 ob_start();
 echo esc_attr(ltrim(rtrim(br2nl($input_value))));
 $textarea_content = ob_get_clean();
 echo trim($textarea_content);
 }}}

 Inside the `textarea` section, then you can maintain your textarea
 indentation.

 Closing this ticket as its more of a support ticket for the forums than an
 issue for Trac.
