Is it possible to replace more than 1 type of character in a string simultaneously? If so, what is the correct syntax for this? I am currently using the following:

<dtml-var "_.string.replace(testString, _.chr(10), '<br />')">

For this string, I want to replace both newlines and carriage returns (_.chr(13)) with the break tag.

IIRC. you can just use <dtml-var testString newline_to_br> to get the same result. I know of no occurence where you have either \n or \r but in the same string (and not just \n or \n\r) But if you want to replace each, either: <dtml-var expr="testString.replace('\r','\n')" newline_to_br> or <dtml-var expr="testString.replace('\n','<br />').replace('\r','<br />')"> but beware the quoting. Even better maybe you just use CSS for your layout: <p style="white-space:pre"> <dtml-var testString> </p> or with ZPT: <p style="white-space:pre" tal:content="options/testString"> Sampletext </p>
