unescape HTML in template

[Alex]

Hi all.

I'm using HtmlDiff (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-difflib.html) in
my view which returns a string which is a complete HTML table showing
line by line differences between files.

When I pass the string to the template, the code is automatically
escaped. Is there a way to prevent escaping in order to have the table
easily rendered in my template?

Thanks in advance.

In your template :

{% autoescape off %}
{{ string_with_the_table_in_it }}
{% endautoescape %}

Cheers,

Or just mark it as safe, so you can do {{ string_with_html_i_trust|
safe }}

I believe you'll find it's the *rendering* that escapes it. There's a
"safe" filter you can use, like so:

{{ content|safe }}

that will mark it as safe to be rendered without escaping.

Steve
