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): 
    my_textfield = models.TextField()

    def display_my_safefield(self): 
        return mark_safe(self.my_textfield)

Then in the template you would have to use:

{{ instance.display_my_safefield }}
