I guess you are using plain text and inserting it into a web page "as-is". All "whitespace" (spaces, line-feeds, tabs...) is converted to a single space per the rules for displaying HTML. You need some way of inserting HTML tags in order to format the text.

There are several solutions. One is to allow the use of simplified markup like Markdown or Textile, and use the appropriate (free) software to convert this to HTML. The other suggestion I have is to use JavaScript to create a rich text editor from your textarea.
