Browser doesn't display newlines when using "\n".join() in Django

My code in Django is:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .models import Post

# Create your views here.

def index(request):
    list_posts = Post.objects.order_by('-publish')[:5]
    output = ',\n'.join([p.slug for p in list_posts])
    return HttpResponse(output)

The view runs without errors, but I do not see the newlines in the browser.

If you look at the page source in your browser, it will contain \n, but your browser will display these as regular spaces.

You can use a <br> tag if you want your browser to display each slug on a new line.

output = '<br>'.join([p.slug for p in list_posts])
