Django: Why is this output HTML-escaped

Question

In my template I'm writing:

<div class="content video">{{ each.text }}</div>

And I'm getting:

<iframe width="300" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1C1HLH-hOZU" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

I want that text to be the part of the mark up,not as text.What say?

Answer 1

Do you mean the output of each.text is escaped and you see the text in your browser rather than the rendered markup?

This is because Django's template engine autoescapes output by default for security reasons. You might want to use the builtin safe filter like this:

<div class="content video">{{ each.text|safe }}</div>

Or another way is to use mark_safe in your view.
