codeblock not using as it should

Hello!

I have a codeblock that I am using to toggle some content allowing you to “read more” or “read less”. \

It is working as I want it to, however, the spacing is not working. I have a lot of <br>s in the codeblock to make my text readable. Unfortunately they are not being output on my site and all the text is one long paragraph. I tried adding a class to the code block (<br class=”block”>) and that broke my toggle.

Everything else I have tried breaks the text into multiple <p> elements and I need to keep it all as one.

Thanks for the help!
