Insert static files literally into Jinja templates without parsing them

Question

I\'m trying to insert file into a page using Jinja 2.6 using the include tag. This worked fine until I started using characters in the file that are reminiscent

Answer 1

You can define a function to load the text file and render it in the template:

import jinja2

def include_file(name):
    return jinja2.Markup(loader.get_source(env, name)[0])

loader = jinja2.PackageLoader(__name__, 'templates')
env = jinja2.Environment(loader=loader)
env.globals['include_file'] = include_file

def render():
    return env.get_template('page.html').render()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print render()

In the template, call it like this:

{{ include_file('file.txt') }}
