[Answer]-Completely stripping certain HTML Tags in Django forms

You can try the removetags template filter:

{{ news.news|removetags:"br"|safe }}

I can’t help but thinking that the “removetags” as Timmy O’Mahony suggested might work if it was structured like this:

{{ news.news|safe|removetags:"br"}}

Give it a shot and see if it works. I would reply, but my karma’s not height enough to directly reply to an answer with a suggestion.
