title: Can you have multiline HTML5 placeholder text in a <textarea>?
body: <p>I have ghost text in textfields that disappear when you focus on them using HTML5's placeholder attribute:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Enter email"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to use that same mechanism to have multiline placeholder text in a textarea, maybe something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea name="story" placeholder="Enter story\n next line\n more"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But those <code>\n</code>s show up in the text and don't cause newlines...  Is there a way to have a multiline placeholder?</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>UPDATE</em></strong>: The only way I got this to work was utilizing the <a href="https://github.com/marioestrada/jQuery-Watermark">jQuery Watermark plugin</a>, which accepts HTML in the placeholder text:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.textarea_class').watermark('Enter story&lt;br/&gt; * newline', {fallback: false});
  </code></pre>
