I have this model:
from wagtail.wagtailcore import blocks
class BlogPage(Page):
date = models.DateField("Post date")
intro = RichTextField(blank=True)
body = StreamField([
('heading', blocks.CharBlock(classname="full title")),
('paragraph', blocks.RichTextBlock()),
('image', ImageChooserBlock()),
('code', CodeBlock()),
('markdown', MarkDownBlock()),
('media', TestMediaBlock(icon='media')),
('blockquote', blocks.BlockQuoteBlock())
])
When I’m saving page with some text using blockquote I use some line breakes and even <br> tags:
But on the page there are no line breaks after it:
So how to make this work and save line breaks? I’m using wagtail 1.13.1.

I think it was done because of security reasons. But It is possible to solve the problem – redefine BlockQuoteBlock for example like this:
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
from django.utils.html import format_html
from wagtail.wagtailcore import blocks
class BlockQuoteBlock(blocks.TextBlock):
def render_basic(self, value, context=None):
if value:
return format_html(
'<blockquote>{0}</blockquote>', mark_safe(value))
else:
return ''
class Meta:
icon = "openquote"
I’ve added mark_safe() function to the original implementation. And then use this block in the model, if you do so, then <br> tags begin to work
