Textarea / xmp starts with closing element

  • Hi folks,

    I’m running into a strange thing I can’t figure out.
    My goal is to echo results as HTML, which makes it possible to re-use the generated code elsewhere (post, page etc.). So I wrapped the content in a <textarea> element which does the job, but the output starts with a closing </p> element and ends with an open <p> element. Example:

    <textarea><p>tekst</p></textarea>
    or
    <xmp><p>tekst</p></xmp>

    Which outputs this:

    </p>
<p>tekst</p>
<p>

    Anyone who has an idea how to solve this?
