Newline_to_br / multiline_table

These filters replace every newline character ("\n") in a string with an HTML line break tag ("<br />"). This ensures that text is displayed on new lines as intended.

{% capture welcome_string %}
Hello,
World!
{% endcapture %}

With filter:
{{ welcome_string | newline_to_br }}
Or:
{{ welcome_string | multiline_table }}


Without filter:
{{ welcome_string }}

String_value

Values are stored as string, but whenever a variable or drop is called, Silverfin will try to infer it's type (string, number, etc). In some situation we could prefer to avoid this and render the value always as a string.

{% input custom.some.field %}

Value: {{ custom.some.field }}
String value: {{ custom.some.field.string_value }}
