how to save brake lines on textarea in django
To save line breaks in a textarea in Django, you can follow these steps:
- In your Django template, use the safe filter on the content of the textarea to preserve the line breaks. For example:
<textarea>{{ your_content_variable|safe }}</textarea>
- In your Django view, when processing the form submission, use the linebreaksbr filter to convert the line breaks to
tags. For example:
from django.utils.html import linebreaksbr
def process_form_submission(request):
your_content_variable = linebreaksbr(request.POST['your_textarea_field_name'])
# Rest of your form processing code
- Ensure that the form field in your Django model is a TextField, which can store the line breaks. For example:
from django.db import models
class YourModelName(models.Model):
your_textarea_field_name = models.TextField()
# Rest of your model fields
These steps will allow you to save and display line breaks in a textarea in Django.
