Django show list of strings in textarea, each string from new line

Question

I have a list lst=['apple', 'pear', 'peach'].

I want to show each item in textarea from new line (removing redundant subspaces).

            <textarea>
                    {% for item in lst %}
                        {{ item }}
                        {% if not forloop.last %}<br/>{% endif %}
                    {% endfor %}
            </textarea>

This code doesn't work. <br/>s are shown as they are. And there are redundant whitespaces at the beginning of the textarea and between the items.

You can use {{ item|linebreaksbr }} linebreaksbr filter and manage textarea by writing that code in single line. — Ashish Nautiyal, Aug 13 '22 at 15:07

The <textarea> tag is very stupid:) in your template there is no place for new line and space:

<textarea>{% for item in lst %}{{ item }}{% if not forloop.last %}&#13;&#10;{% endif %}{% endfor %}</textarea>

It need to be in one line or it will break.
