All linebreaks will be converted to <br /> tags in the given variable. This is equivalent to the PHP nl2br() function.
Example 5-13. nl2br
<?php$smarty->assign('articleTitle', "Sun or rain expected\ntoday, dark tonight" );?>
Where template is:
{$articleTitle|nl2br}
This should output:
Sun or rain expected<br />today, dark tonight
