Yes, it is hard to determine the question. However, a stab in the dark, you are trying to get a <br /> tag to display a new line in a django template? If so, any HTML that you want to render on the display needs to be passed with the mark_safe() function. For example in views.py
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe def helloWorld(request): message = "<span style='font-weight: bold;'>Hello</span> <br /> <span style='color: red;'>World!</span>" return render_to_response('hello_template.htm', {'message': mark_safe(message)}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) hello_template.htm: <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Hello, World!</title> <meta charset="utf-8" /> </head> <body> {% if message %} {{ message }} {% endif %} </body> </html> Produces a page like: Hello World! Without mark_safe(message) page just displays HTML not rendered in plain text: <span style='font-weight: bold;'>Hello</span> <br /> <span style='color: red;'>World!</span> Hope that helps. If you are talking about manipulating characters, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/227459/ascii-value-of-a-character-in-python. You can use ord() and chr() to switch carriage return/line feeds using the ascii ordinal representation and back if you need to.
