No there is none. You might want to use something like markdown (or
napalm for the partial python implementation of Markdown in my sandbox)
or ReST (you have to install docutils) or textile or one of the many others.

If you just need to substitute the \n with <br /> just run a replace

description.replace('\n', '<br />')
before filling the slot so that you don't actually the original that the
user inserted.
