>Unicode/not unicode is an irrelevant issue here. Many ways to get the desired output: 1) Use the 'safe' template filter to mark the string as safe to output raw 2) Use django.utils.safestring.mark_safe to mark the string as safe in your view 3) Use the autoescape template tag to disable output escaping when you output the string 4) Don't convert newlines to <br>, use the 'linebreaksbr' template filter to do it in when you output the string Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
