wrap strings in html tags python

Question

What's the easiest way to control taking strings to html, where you can feed attributes easily like the id, classes, etc, such that in one line you can pass a string:

'just install in crontab:\n    \n    crontab -e\n    \n    * * * * * /usr/bin/python ~/path/update_files.py'

and get

<p>just install in crontab:</p><p> </p><p> crontab -e</p><p> </p><p> * * * * * /usr/bin/python ~/path/update_files.py</p>

Thank you

You can use Django filters to convert your plain text newlines into HTML. linebreaks turns single newlines into <br> tags, and double newlines into <p> tags. linebreaksbr just turns newlines into <br> tags:

{{value|linebreaks}}
{{value|linebreaksbr}}
