[Mediawiki-l] Template help, losing line feeds when coping.

I can't figure this one out and I am hoping that someone out there and can help me with this.

I have a template called BoxFile that will but the contents into it's own window. Here is the template.

{| width="95%" border="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" | style="background:#FFDEAD;" | <font size="-1"

http://www.hoganzoo.com/icons/file-text.png &nbsp;&nbsp;File:

'''{{{1}}}'''</font> |- | style="border: 1px dashed #C8C8DA;" | <div style="overflow: auto; max-height: 35em;"> <p style="white-space: pre; font-family: monospace;"><font size="-1">{{{2}}}</font></p> </div> |}

Now, the problem that I am having is when I go to a wiki page and use this template like so;

{{BoxFile|/home/testfile|<nowiki>line1 line2 line3 </nowiki>}}

the wiki page correctly displays a box with three lines in it. But when I highlight those three lines, copy them, and then paste them somewhere else, like a terminal window or notepad screen I get;

line1line2line3

What happened to the line breaks????

Thanks for any help on this.
