Disable HTML escaping in Django's TextField

Question

How can I turn off Django's automatic HTML escaping, when I write into model's TextField?

Answer 1

One way to do it is to put a function in your model which returns the data marked as safe:

from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe 

class MyModel(models.Model): 
    myTextField = models.TextField()

def display_mySafeField(self): 
    return mark_safe(self.myTextField)

Then in the template you would have to use:

{{instance.display_mySafeField}}

Answer 2

You can just use django's safe filter. In your template you would do something like this:

{{ instance.my_text_field|safe }}
