How do I add the linebreaks filter to the body.

I am trying to add the filter linebreaks to the body. What does this filter do, and how do I implement it? Thank you.

articles/urls.py 
from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.ArticleList.as_view(), name="list"),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)', views.ArticleDetail.as_view(), name="detail"),
]
articles/views.py 
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView

from . import models

class ArticleList(ListView):
    model = models.Article

class ArticleDetail(DetailView):
    model = models.Article
articles/templates/articles/article_list.html 
<h1>Articles</h1>

<ul>
{% for article in article_list %}
  <li>{{ article.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html 
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<p>By: {{ article.author }}</p>

    {{ body|linebreaks }}
    <body>Article body with linebeaks</body>

Hello there, you need to fix your article_detail like this:

<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<p>By: {{ article.author }}</p>

<body>
{{ article.body|linebreaks }}
</body>
