New row in Django text field

Question

In my Django app I have:

models.py

content_don = models.TextField()

I write content into that field and then save it with 'Submit'. Problem is, on my page I preview it with:

post.html

<p class="article-content mt-3 mb-1"><strong>Description: </strong></p>
<div class="media content-section mt-1  mb-1">
    <p class="lead">{{ post.content_don }}</p>
</div>

All content is in the same row. There are now rows which I typed in when I wrote text during form input. Why is that?

Answer 1

HTML needs the newlines converted into markup, typically <br>. There's a Django builtin linebreaks to do this.

{{ post.content_don|linebreaks }}
