How to save lines from "textarea"?

[raxvell]

Now all text from "textarea" is saved as just solid text. How can I make the text stay in lines?

<textarea id="program_description" name="program_description" placeholder="Program description"></textarea>

`$program_description = $_POST['program_description'];

$document->setValue('program_description', $program_description);`

I actually had the exact same problem yesterday, and I fixed it based off this comment:

#553 (comment)

I ended up doing the following in my controller:

public function process_newline_text($string)
{
    $lines = explode("\n", $string);
    $textrun = new TextRun();
    $textrun->addText(array_shift($lines));
    foreach ($lines as $line) {
        $textrun->addTextBreak();
        $textrun->addText(htmlspecialchars($line));
    }
    return $textrun;
}

$templateProcessor = new TemplateProcessor('template.docx');

$templateProcessor->setComplexValue(
    'someField',
    $this->process_newline_text($paragraph)
);

The htmlspecialchars() is optional, but needed in my situation. I tried to use the setting (I forget which it is) to auto-escape but it did not work for me.
