It's just a minor thing, since you said this content comes from data
entry, but this allows all HTML in book.description to be displayed,
including potentially unsafe elements

Check the Django docs for the filters linebreaks, linebreaksbr, and
safe.

By digging around here in this group I found
an answer in using 

{{ book.description|safe }}

Problem with in long text fields in templates

[NoviceSortOf]

I've a template that displays descriptions of books.

The descriptions are long text fields usually containing 1-3
paragraphs of text.

Inside the text description during data entry  tags are placed to
indicate line breaks.

When attempt to using {{ book.description }} in the template, it
outputs all the  tags onto the screen,
when what we want is actual line breaks.

I've attempted as well using {{ book.description|escape }} but that
yields the same result.

Obviously I'm missing part of the concept involved with displaying
long text fields with embeded html via django .

Can someone please give me a clue as to how to make this work or where
to find information to make this work.
