Allowing tags with Google App Engine and Jinja2

Question

In my web app, the user can make blog posts. When I display the blog post, newlines aren\'t shown because I didn\'t replace the new lines with
tags.

Answer 1

Note that i have autoescape on by default, so I don't check it in this function, but this is what I'm using

def nl2br(value): 
  split = value.split('\n')
  return jinja2.Markup('
').join(split)

then of course,

jinja_env.filters['nl2br'] = nl2br
