title: How can I prefill a text area with a long blob in Rails?
body: <p>In one of my views I have this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= f.label :default_theme %&gt;
  &lt;%= f.text_area(:default_theme, :value =&gt; "How do we fill this with a long blob?") %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to pre populate the text area, but with a very long blob of over 160 lines of xml. What is the best way to do this? I understand I could just fill it in as a value, but that seems to be a really horrible way of doing it. </p>
