Take a look at the activation template string in
lib.canonical.widgets.lazrjs.TextAreaEditorWidget.  There is a
formatter config option that takes the XHTML and formats it nicely.
This has to be done because the xhtml response is in <dd> tags via the
API.  It's also not tested in the lazr-js example because it's
dependent on our real XHR response, so it seemed silly to mock just so
the test formatted nicely.  It's hackish, I know.  But I couldn't
really work out a nicer way to do it.

In other words, the editing is multi-line, but what you display back
on save is dependent on your implementation of the widget.

I meant to document this in someway in the example, though.  But maybe
I didn't.  I can look closer at what's documented there tomorrow.

Cheers,
deryck
