I have some data in jinja2 like this
'item1|item2|item3' And I want to turn it into rendered linebreaks. However, when I replace it with br/ tags, I get the br tags rendered on the page. So
{{ 'item1|item2|item3' | replace("|", "<br/>") }} renders as
item1<br/>item2<br/>item3<br/> When I want
item1 item2 item3 on my page. I feel like I'm missing some obvious trick here...
This has to do with autoescaping. Solution that worked for me was:
{% autoescape false %} {{ 'item1|item2|item3' | replace("|", "<br/>") }} {% endautoescape %} 
escape for the original input but the official jinja2 doc mentions how to achieve the same result with a custom filter
new_variable = mystring.split('\n') and then, passing it to my Jinja template, I used a for loop: {% for line in new_variable %}<br />{{ line }}{% endfor %}
