Question

I want to display text in multiple lines in django admin, but django ignore "\n". This is what I've got: I just want to split this text in multiple lines, what is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

i usually do it like this

from django.utils.html import linebreaks

class SomethingAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = [..., 'admin_get_variants']

    def admin_get_variants(self, obj):
        return linebreaks(obj.get_variants)
    admin_get_variants.short_description = u'Get variants'
    admin_get_variants.admin_ordering_field = 'get_variants'
    admin_get_variants.allow_tags = True
