When outputting content that contains HTML, and you want the HTML to
be rendered, not escaped, you either need to turn off escaping, or
mark the content as safe to output:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/templates/builtins/#safe

Hello Emily,

This is not a direct answer to your question.  It looks like Tom has your answer.  You will most likely want to move the {% load markup %} to near to top of your template.  Generally loads only needs to be done once at the start of the template.

#template

<div class="text">

        {{ article.html_content|safe}}

        <span>Update:{{article.update }}</span>

</div>

doc:disable auto-escaping

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