python - How to print the \n character in Jinja2 -

i have following string in python: thestring = "123\n456"

in jinja2 template, use {{thestring}} , output is:

123
456

the way can jinja2 print exact representation 123\n456 (including \n) escaping thestring = "123\\n456".

is there other way can done directly in template?

i'll answer own, maybe helps has same question.

this works: {{thestring.encode('string_escape')}}
