If I have in my jinja2 template

<td>{{ cell.text }}</td>

where in my python code I have

cell['text'] = 'Some Text\nSome Other Text'

I get

Some Text Some Other Text

When I was expecting

Some Text
Some Other Text

What do I need to do differently?

Did you place it in {{}}? – Maxwell D. Dorliea May 26 '22 at 18:57
Try using
or
```
 instead of \n ?
```

@MaxwellD.Dorliea At the top I show `{{ cell.text }}`, is that what you're referring to? – Frank Harris May 26 '22 at 19:10
@ValF. I tried that! The result was "Some Text
Some Other Text", it didn't seem to parse it as HTML. I also tried "U+000A" and something like "&0016;", I forget what because I deleted it and can't find the code again for some reason. In both cases it just passed the literal string in. – Frank Harris May 26 '22 at 19:14
