symfony yaml: keep new lines (literal)

I am trying to keep newlines in a yaml file. In a messages.en.yml file, I have.

test:|
  Here is line 1
  Here is line 2

And in form.html.twig:

{{'test'|trans}}

Both lines are rendered on the same line. Here is line 1 Here is line 2

In this link, the literal style for Yaml is explained. and in this other one, it says "Notable lacking features are: document directives, multi-line quoted messages ..."

So is it possible in Symfony Yaml to use multilines? and how?

Solution

  • You could use |nl2br filter

    {{ 'test'|trans|nl2br }}

    Or, if you are sure your translation can't get altered by any user, you could use some few html in your translation. 

    test:|
  Here is line 1<br/>
  Here is line 2<br/>
  <br/><br/>
  Here is line 5

    Then 

    {{ 'test'|trans|raw }}
