Rendering a template variable as HTML

djangodjango-templates

I use the 'messages' interface to pass messages to user like this:

request.user.message_set.create(message=message)

I would like to include html in my {{ message }} variable and render it without escaping the markup in the template.

If you don't want the HTML to be escaped, look at the safe filter and the autoescape tag:

{{ myhtml |safe }}

{% autoescape off %}
    {{ myhtml }}
{% endautoescape %}

The {{variable}} is substituted directly into the HTML. Do a view source; it isn't a "variable" or anything like it. It's just rendered text.

Having said that, you can put this kind of substitution into your JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
   var a = "{{someDjangoVariable}}";
</script>

This gives you "dynamic" javascript.

You can use the with template tag.

{% with name="World" %}     
<html>
<div>Hello {{name}}!</div>
</html>
{% endwith %}
