Django - Store unescaped html in model
django, django-models, python
Solution
You can use the `safe` filter to present unescaped text, or `escape` filter to present escaped text. You can also use `autoescape` tag to set a block. (`{% autoescape on %}` or `{% autoescape off %}`)
Problem
I am trying to store raw, unescaped HTML inside one of my Django models for display on my home page. However, when I store it in a TextField it gets escaped, and ends up just being displayed as raw text. How can I store raw HTML in a Django model? ** EDIT ** It seems as if its not getting escaped in the model layer, but in the Template layer. Is there a special tag I should use? I checked the value in the shell and it's just fine, but for some reason when i did {{ block.html } (html is the attribute of the block object that stores the actual HTML) in the template, it comes out like this: ``` <p>This is a <strong>very</strong> <em>important</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">block</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">it has very significant content!</p> ```
