Replace them with `

I think you're needing  tag.

From w3schools.com:

The   tag inserts a single line break.

\n is a new line used in plain text,   on the other hand is line break used in HTML

In Flask you can create a template filter

eg:

@app.template_filter('nl2br')
def nl2br(s):
    return s.replace("\n", "<br />")

and use

{{rs.post.message|nl2br}}

Try autoescape off {% autoescape false %} {{rs.post.message}} {% endautoescape %} – Atul Mishra Oct 28 '16 at 06:03

The only time that \n will show up as a rendered line break in HTML, is when it is within a (pre-formatted text) element. The difference between \n and in php

With the above quote being said, I suggest using   rather than \n.
