Extracted from `Django 1.4 since markup deprecation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/#django-contrib-markup>`_

A collection of template filters that implement common markup languages.

provides template filters that implement the following markup languages:

  • textile -- implements Textile_ -- requires PyTextile_
  • markdown -- implements Markdown_ -- requires Python-markdown_
  • commonmark -- implements CommonMark_ -- requires CommonMark-py_
  • reStructuredText -- implements reStructuredText_ -- requires docutils_

In each case, the filter expects formatted markup as a string and returns a string representing the marked-up text. For example, the textile filter converts text that is marked-up in Textile format to HTML.

Configuration


To activate these filters, add 'django_markwhat' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting. Once you've done that, use {% load markup %} in a template, and you'll have access to these filters.

.. warning::

The output of markup filters is marked "safe" and will not be escaped when
rendered in a template. Always be careful to sanitize your inputs and make
sure you are not leaving yourself vulnerable to cross-site scripting or
other types of attacks.

reStructuredText

When using the reStructuredText markup filter you can define a RESTRUCTUREDTEXT_FILTER_SETTINGS in your django settings to override the default writer settings. See the reStructuredText writer settings_ for details on what these settings are.

.. warning::

reStructuredText has features that allow raw HTML to be included, and that allow arbitrary files to be included. These can lead to XSS vulnerabilities and leaking of private information. It is your responsibility to check the features of this library and configure appropriately to avoid this. See the Deploying Docutils Securely <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/howto/security.html>_ documentation.

Markdown

The Python Markdown library supports options named "safe_mode" and "enable_attributes". Both relate to the security of the output. To enable both options in tandem, the markdown filter supports the "safe" argument. ::

{{ markdown_content_var|markdown:"safe" }}

.. warning::

Versions of the Python-Markdown library prior to 2.1 do not support the
optional disabling of attributes and by default
