I would like to retain the the spacing information (next line, /n)
when I retrieve text data from the database.

for example, when I put following into a form

test
test
test

this is what I get out of the database in the views.

test test test

I'd like it retrieve

test
test
test

here is my code

IN CONTROLLERS (default.py, has two functions)

def create_text():
      form = SQLFORM(db.task, fields=[ 'body'])
      if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
              session.flash = 'document saved'
              redirect(URL(r=request,f='review', args = form.vars.id))
       elif form.errors: response.flash = 'page not saved'
       return dict(form=form)

def review():
      thistask=db((db.task.id==request.args[0])&(db.task.auth_user_id
==session.auth.user.id )).select()[0]
     return dict(body = thistask.body)

IN VIEWS (there are two files)

create_text.html (view to create text)

{{=form}}

review.html (view to edit text)

{{=body}}
