[web2py] Re: Line Breaks in DAL Entries
Are you saying you want to retain the line breaks when it is rendered in
HTML (e.g., in a grid or read-only form)? If so, you can do something like:
Field('myfield', 'text', represent=lambda v, r: XML(v.replace('\n', 'br'
)))
or
Field('myfield', 'text', represent=lambda v, r: PRE(v))

I have a database entry that looks like this when I enter the DB admin:
Mark's Restaurant
MEAL PLAN
NOTICE
When it prints, I get:
Mark's Restaurant MEAL PLAN NOTICE
My problem is that I would like to split the text by line but I cant
figure out what the raw symbol is for the break (i.e., \r\n), as when I add
these, they are ignored. Can you point me in the right direction.
