If I understand your post correctly you are entering in something like...

...in a field of your form.  Upon save you process this field with markdown and you want to store something like...

<p>Action: check WSMB</p>

<p>Reason: customer check this then got error</p>
<p>Result: finish, result is good, in spec</p>

 
I'm no markdown expert but I would say this is a problem of your understanding of how markdown turns it's markup and into html not a problem with Django or the markdown package.

To achieve the results you want I think you would need to enter something like...

Action: check WSMB

Reason: customer check this then got error

Result: finish, result is good, in spec

You need a blank line between each line.

Alternately you could preprocess the input and add the extra lines yourself before processing with markdown..

Toodle-looooooooooooooo...............

Well depends. This behavior is as per "spec" for the original markdown dialect: single newlines are ignored (they're basically seen as line wrapping), double newlines create new paragraphs, ending a line with two spaces creates a hard return.

Since you have not specified what you expect your markdown text to become, there is little we can do to help you with.

Yes, you totally understood me,actually I copied the text from word and
paste into textfield, it is very inconvenience manually add a blank line
and also as you mentioned,if I put blank line between each line the appearance
is not what i like i like this

 
Action: check WSMB
Reason: customer check this then got error
Result: finish, result is good, in spec

so do you have any suggestion to achieve this goal?

Thank you very much.

To quote the friendly manual:

"When you do want to insert a <br /> break tag using Markdown, you end a line with two or more spaces, then type return."

If you're copy/pasting test that's not Markdown, then Markdown will
not magically help you. If you have unformatted text that you want to
turn into html, you're probably going to have to do a little text
pre-processing. Good news: you're using Python and text processing is
easily in python.

Good news: you're using Python and text processing is easy in Python.
Bad news: even if you're using Python, you still have to know how to
use it ;)

Good news: you sometimes don't have anything to do - except, of
course, reading the FineManual(tm) and using the appropriate filters:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/builtins/#linebreaks

@OP: unless of course you wanted to use other markup features<g>

way to achieve my goal.

on the way to what i want.

Leo,

If you want to wrap without the end of a paragraph, you should end your lines with 2 or more spaces then do a single new line.

This is as per the standard Markdown behaviour.

Also, make sure you parse all the text you need parsed in one go, not line by line.

All the best

Benoit
