Question

Answer 1

+4 A:

You can use "safe" in the template or "mark_safe" in the view

update

from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe

currencies = ((mark_safe('&#36;'), mark_safe('&#36;')), 
              (mark_safe('&pound;'), mark_safe('&pound;')), 
              (mark_safe('&euro;'), mark_safe('&euro;')))

update 2

As an alternative in your template you can turn off escaping for a block of code everything between tags {% autoescape off %} and {% endautoescape %} will not be escaped.

update 3

When nothing else works try the following. In the file that contains your currencies tuple put the following line as the very first or second line:

# coding=utf-8

and then in your currencies tuple put the actual unicode characters:

currencies = (('$', '$'), 
              ('£', '£'), 
              ('€', '€'))

Hi,Thanks for the quick reply.But I don't how either of this can be applied in the case of django Forms.To Add: I should have mentioned that I use Django 0.96 as my application runs on Google's App Engine.

Hi, Thanks again for the reply. I use Django 0.96 as my application runs on Google's App Engine. As far as I can understand django.utils.safestring was introduced after 0.96

Hi, Thanks for that. But again the problem will be the version of Django I am using 0.96. I think only Django 1.0 has the "autoescape" tag. It's times like these I wish I had Django 1.0. But changing the version now will be a very large overhead, since I am in Google App Engine.
