[Zope] Populate textarea from lines property w/TAL - without adding blank line?

[John Schinnerer]

Aloha,

I have a web form - part of a python product that provides a client
with some content management (e.g. content editing) on their site.
Some of the fields are textarea, into which I need to populate the
current contents of a lines property.

Current code is for example:

<textarea name="sponsors:lines" rows="6" cols="60"><span
tal:repeat="line here/sponsors" tal:omit-tag=""><span
tal:replace="line" />
</span></textarea>

I have to have a newline after the tal:replace="line" tag or all the
lines items run together on one line.
This also adds a blank line after the last item in the field, which is
saved when the form is next submitted...and so on, and on...
Plus I have to have no newlines anywhere else or they each one inserts
a blank line in the field, which is not the source formatting I'd
prefer.

How can I avoid these problems?
Is there some clever TAL, or do I need to use python somehow?

Any help appreciated, thanks,
John S.
