django render html tags passed from views.py

Question

I want my user to be able to write, for example image1 and use a regex to recognize and replace that with an tag. I have it all working -- but when I pass the data to template for display I do so like this:

    <div class="container">
        <p>
            {% articleTxt %}
        </p>
    </div>

ArticleTxt contains:

This is a test Article <img src="/media/articleImages/django-allauth.png"> 
and that was a picture and this is another one then some more text ---- 
original: This is a test Article *image1* and that was a picture and this is 
another one *image2* then some more text

Thats my frustration. I've tried changing the template to:

{% autoescape off %} {{articleTXT}} {{% autoescape %}}

I also tried

{{% articleTXT|safe %}}

It always prints the tags instead of rendering them. Is there anyway to render tags embedded in text passed from views.py to my template!!

Answer 1

{{ articleTXT |safe }}

or

{% autoescape off %} {{ articleTXT }} {% endautoescape %}

should do the trick

*Note: its {% endautoescape %}

if that isnt working try,

format_html(articleTXT)

in your views.

Hope this helps :)
