title: New Line to Break Extension
New-Line-to-Break Extension
===========================
Summary
-------
The New-Line-to-Break (`nl2br`) Extension will cause newlines to be treated as
hard breaks; like StackOverflow and [GitHub][] flavored Markdown do.
[Github]: https://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/
Example
-------
```pycon
>>> import markdown
>>> text = """
... Line 1
... Line 2
... """
>>> html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['nl2br'])
>>> print html
<p>Line 1<br />
Line 2</p>
```
Usage
-----
See [Extensions](index.md) for general extension usage. Use `nl2br` as the name
of the extension.
This extension does not accept any special configuration options.
A trivial example:
```python
markdown.markdown(some_text, extensions=['nl2br'])
```
