Printing data on web2py view page is different from python shell

[Maurice Waka]

When I have data from sqlite printing out to python shell such as from this code:
import sqlite 3
code
def trial_stuff()
    style =  [ 'string',....]
    id = record[0]
    place = record[5]

    if item in string == id:
        print place

In an example data, the result appears as this:

Foot complications are among the most serious and costly complications of diabetes mellitus.

Amputation of the lower extremity or part of it is usually preceded by a foot ulcer.

A strategy that includes prevention, patient and staff education, multidisciplinary treatment of foot ulcers, and close monitoring can
reduce amputation rates by 49–85%.

Therefore, several countries and organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the International Diabetes Federation, have set goals to reduce the rate of amputations by up to 50%.

When printing in web2py view:
in controller:

code......

result = trial_stuff()

in view.html:

{{extend.layout.html}}
{{Answer:}}
{{=result}}


This is what I get on view:

Is there a better way of doing it on web2py and space out my answer on view like it does on shell?

Kind regards

This is just how HTML works. You may want to study HTML a bit more but here's a quick n' dirty solution.

{{extend.layout.html}}

Answer:

{{=XML(result.replace('\n', '<br>'))}}

Could also try BEAUTIFY(), which will accept a list and print it out as a table.

but won't preserve newlines, that's pretty much the entire deal about the "issue" ^_^

From the above code I would expect result == None
