Allow nicely formatted question text with line breaks in guestbooks.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?
(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)

Any user with permission to create a guestbook.

What inspired the request?

ADA has many multi-line questions but readability is low due to the line breaks not being retained in the guestbook.

What existing behavior do you want changed?

Currently creating a long Question for a guestbook does not retain line breaks or other formatting. Long questions do not look very nice and readability is low.
