django 1.6.4 - markup / markdown (for django blog tutorial)

[Alex Leonhardt]

Hi all,

am new to django and followed a tiny tutorial to start off - I wanted to add the ability to use Markdown syntax in the blog posts. It was suggested to use django.contrib.markup, but that wont work anymore ( i guess it's been removed ) - what do I need to use Markdown in my posts ? 

Thanks all!

Alex

fwiw - this is the tutorial I was trying : http://www.creativebloq.com/netmag/get-started-django-7132932 it mentions django.contrib.markup ... but that doesnt seem to work :\

django.contrib.markup has been deprecated. You could try using the standalone project that is a copy of the same code from django:

pip install django_markup_deprecated

Then add "markup_deprecated" to your INSTALLED_APPS instead of django.contrib.markup.
