Django templates - split string to array

Question

I have a model field, which stores a list of URLs (yeah, I know, that\'s wrong way) as url1\\nurl2\\nurl3<...>. I need to split the field into an array in

Answer 1

Hm, I have partly solved this problem. I changed my filter to:

@register.filter(name='split')
def split(value, arg):
    return value.split('\n')

Why it didn't work with the original code?
