But if i want to show whatever i typed in text box same to UI (including
spaces,newline, tab ) then there is another way doing it in ruby.

Replace spaces with   or enclose everything in 

Fred

I am trying this replaces all spaces with   then other code is not
working means(new line paragraph)
I am writing following method
def simple_format_include_spaces(text)
content_tag ‘p’, text.to_s.
gsub(/[" "]/, " " ).
gsub(/\r\n?/, “\n”). # \r\n and \r -> \n
gsub(/\n\n+/, “

\n\n

”). # 2+ newline -> paragraph
gsub(/([^\n]\n)(?=[^\n])/, ‘\1
’) # 1 newline -> br
end

but it not working. and pre tag is also not work for spaces
