Be a good friend. Try to be completely who you are, figure out what you personally love and go after it with everything you\'ve got no matter how much it takes." -Angelina Jolie.'}

Notice my dictionary has line breaks in them: \n

How do I display my template with those line breaks?

{{quotes|withlinebreaks\n}}

Use the linebreaks filter.

For example:

{{ value|linebreaks }}

If value is Joel\nis a slug, the output will be <p>Joel<br />is a slug</p>.

All of these answers don't explicitly mention that {{ value|linebreaksbr }} should be used in the display template ie the get request not the post request.

So if you had a template to display say post.details, it would be

<h4>Below are the post details</h4>

{{ post.details|linebreaksbr }}

And not in the post form

<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form|linebreaksbr }}
    <button>Save post</button>
</form>

Had this same issue and after figuring it our decided that someone outthere might find it handy. Happy coding!

for some reason i can't change this value

val = """
Brand AER \nDetail Material Kuningan berlapis emas chrome dan powder coating \nTipe Produk Keran Shower \nWarna Emas \nMaterial Kuningan \nUkuran Kemasan 12cm x 19cm x 13cm \nUkuran Barang 12cm x 19cm x 13cm \nBerat 2kg \nManual Instruksi instalasi manual dapat didownload di link berikut:https://aer.co.id/products/aer-kran-shower-panas-dingin-luxury-series-sah-sr1/?attachment_id=10954&amp;download_file=5e267c93cdc76&amp;_wpnonce=28db09bc61
"""

which has '\n' in it with linebreaks or linebreaksbr filter i've tried this

{ val|linebreaks }}
{ val|linebreaksbr }}

the val stays the same then i tried @AndrewFox answer and did this and it worked for me

Change \n to <br> and autoescape off

{% autoescape off %}
   {{ val }}
{% endautoescape %}

Use '<br>' instead of /n.

If necessary, you can do a .replace('/n', '<br>').
