I have a notes field with a type of text.
On the screen I enter: Note1 Note2 Note3
On the report it comes out as Note1 Note2 Note3
How can I get the line return to be honored in the printed output

I found this in search, and while a few of the above did not work, this worked well. Split the string into an array, and iterate over them:
<t t-if="isinstance(o.field, str)">
<t t-set="string_to_output" t-value="o.field.split('\n')" />
<t t-foreach="string_to_output" t-as="string_line">
<span t-esc="string_line"/>
<br />
</t>
</t>
Note, the first line tests if it's a string first. If not (null, false, etc), it may yield a server error when it tries to ".split".
Hello Kevin,
The formatting from the text field does not transfer to html (what you should use inside the mako)
A good workaround for this solution is to use the <pre> tag and place o.notes inside it
Do not forget to reset the style on the pre tag or simply just change the font to the one you use
Another would be to add in the mako ${o.field.replace('\n','<br />').replace('\r\n', '<br />')} this will substitute the newline/return carriage + newline into breaks
Hope this helps you!
${note | carriage_returns} is what you looking for
with:
<%
def carriage_returns(text):
return text.replace('\n', '<br />')
%>
at the start of the document
That does not work for me on a regular text-field, am I missing something?
sorry i should post the complete solution
Ah I thought it was a default function, nice Markus
It is a default function on rml-reports so i was confused the first time, but now we are fine
Why don't you use fields.html ? It's much better to customize your text to be printed.
'note': fields.html('Note')
Not changing existing fields, only print right in webkit reports

Interesting that my formatting of Note1 Note2 and Note3 has been lost. There should be CR between each so they appear on 3 subsequent lines
