I want to display strings with new lines in ChoiceField form but it is rendered in just one line.

s = "name: x \n  email: x@gmail.com"

But after it's rendered it's showing like this:

name: x  email: x@gmail.com

And not like this:

name: x 
email: x@gmail.com

Please suggest me some workaround in the backend and not in the frontend part.

Do you mean that you want to have a newline in the label of a select/dropdown option? – Iain Shelvington Mar 05 '22 at 08:30
@IainShelvington, yes. I want to add new line inside the label of select. – Abhinav Prakash Mar 05 '22 at 09:16

Unfortunately it's not possible https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2864238/line-break-in-html-select-option – Iain Shelvington Mar 05 '22 at 09:33
Thanks @IainShelvington , from the Stackoverflow post that you shared I discovered the closest we can do is to use "title attribute". Now my question is how to add title attribute in django ChoiceField. – Abhinav Prakash Mar 05 '22 at 10:30
