how to include html in your text area

[joy]

May i use html inside a text area? (i need some link in my text but the TextField of my object Text gives me back the html without formatting it)

Is there any workaround?

The html is saved to the database, but is stripped out when the variable is rendered to the template to help prevent XSS attack. You can read more about it (including how to selectively disable the feature) here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#automatic-html-escaping

HTML is not really stripped. It's just encoded. If you want to render it on the frontend you can use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#std:templatefilter-escape or safe filter e.g. {{ your_var|safe }}

Joy, look into the database if it is being saved without escaping. If that's the case you need to render it without escaping marking it as safe with the safe filter. For example:

This will not be escaped: {{ data|safe }}

or you can use a template block like this:

{% autoescape off %}
    Hello {{ name }}
{% endautoescape %}

If you wan't some text field where you can format take a look at:
