vLargeTextField

the break lines are mantained as in the user input.

nice to meet you,

You can render breaks as html (the linebreaks templatetag make it easy, or surround with the html pre tag i.e. <pre>... (your_text) ...</pre>) and set the allow_tags property to True for this field within your admin class definition.

admin.py

class CustomAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    model = YourModel
    list_display = ['your_large_text_field__custom_rendering']

    def your_large_text_field__custom_rendering(self, obj):
        return "<pre>%s</pre>" % (obj.your_large_text_field,)
    your_large_text_field__custom_rendering.allow_tags = True


admin.site.register(YourModel, CustomAdmin)
