nl2br

1.5

The nl2br filter was added in Twig 1.5.

The nl2br filter inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
{{ "I like Twig.\nYou will like it too."|nl2br }}
{# outputs

    I like Twig.<br />
    You will like it too.

#}

Note

The nl2br filter pre-escapes the input before applying the transformation.
