Preview is showing correctly, but the django is rendering plain text instead of markdown formatted

[jeffwillette]

I am using 1.9 and I cannot get the formatted mardown text to show in my template, but it works correctly in the preview. I have followed all the instructions. Is this a 1.9 bug?

I think you need this at the top of your template page if you don't have it already: {% load django_markdown %} It worked for me (though using django 1.8)

I met the same problem today, and I load

{% load django_markdown %}

at the top of my template.

I met the same problem, though {% load django_markdown %} did not solve the issue. I am working with Django 1.9 & django_markdown 2.6.8. Preview is working in the admin section (I had to modify the views.py to get it working), I just get plain text when the page is shown.

Here is my template:

{% extends 'blog/base.html' %}
{% load django_markdown %}

{% block content %}
<div>
    <h1><a href="{% url 'section_detail' pk=section.pk %}">{{ section.title }}</a></h1>
    <p>{{ section.text | safe | linebreaksbr }}</p>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Any clue appreciated.
