How to enable BR tag after new line in textarea

I have a textarea and I want to put <br/> after every enter because I put the data in database. In database looks like this: 

<pre>

When outputting the saved content, you can use the CSS rule white-space: pre; on the element that will contain the content of the textarea.

It's also safer than just outputting plain HTML content from your database.
