2 questions about textarea

I am using LotusXSL.

1. If you have an empty value within textarea as: <textarea
name="a"><xsl:value-of select="nothing"/></textarea> where "nothing" is
empty. It will output <textarea name="a"/>. I want <textarea
name="a"></textarea>. Is there any way to work around this problem?
2. if I have a text value with multiple string, how can I put <P/> for
each line break? For example, if the value for nothing multiple line
string as:
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3
and I want to put it in a textarea as: <textarea name="a"><xsl:value-of
select="nothing"/></textarea>. How can I put the line break there.

Thanks

TK
