So if I call this function:

$("#item").text()

on this HTML code:

<div id="item">
<pre><span class="cm-tag">&lt;html&gt;</span></pre><pre><span class="cm-tab">    </span>asdf</pre><pre><span class="cm-tag">&lt;/html&gt;</span></pre>
</div>

it returns:

'<html>    asdf</html>'

and i want it to return:

'<html>
    asdf
</html>'

basically i need a new line after each <pre> tag… how would i do this?

    A possible solution, get the text of each pre and join them with new lines:

    var text = $("#item pre").map(function(){
    return $(this).text();
}).get().join('\n');

    Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uGGFe/
