How to output text from database with line breaks in a django template?

Question

I have text saved in a database record that looks like this.

This is the text

This is on a new line with a space in between

When I output it on the Django template, it comes out like this

This is the text This is on a new line with a space in between

How can I output the text on my django template to reflect the way it appears in the database?

Use linebreaks or linebreaksbr filter:

{{ text|linebreaks }}

Or surround the text with <pre>...</pre>.

<pre>{{ text }}</pre>
