The DTML transform methods are available in the 
Products.PythonScripts.standard package. You can do::

  <b tal:define="pss python:Products.PythonScripts.standard" tal:content="python: pss.newline_to_br(item.description)"> news </b>

The default operation of taL:content does an HTML quote, but you can nest such calls if you like. Of course, you can expand the 'pss' and forget the 'define' or define the shortcut to the library higher up.
