Why does Django give me an invalid filter error when I try to apply two filters?

I want to make two changes to the text that is displayed in my Django template. First, I want to strip the text of any HTML. The following code works for me:

{{ article.abstract|striptags }}

Second, I want to replace all instances of \n with <br /> I tried:

{{ article.abstract|striptags|replace('\n', '<br />')  }}

That gave me an invalid filter error. I even tried:

{{ article.abstract|striptags|replace('\n', '')  }}

That did not work either. Are there any suggestions? Thank you.

For your first problem (removing html from output), striptags is a good choice.

For your second problem (converting \n to newlines), check out the linebreaks filter. Actually, in your case, linebreaksbr might be a better choice.

Your code would look like this:

{{ article.abstract|striptags|linebreaksbr }}
