using safemarkdown in template

[Bill Seitz]

Here's what I've done:

* installed python-markdown in my environment

* included 'safemarkdown': utils.safemarkdown in my globals passed to render() in my app code

* called like $safemarkdown(note.description) in my template which is rendering a list of notes

Unfortunately when I view that page output, I get visible/escaped tags like <p> in the content.

What am I doing wrong?

You should use $:safemarkdown(note.description)

$foo always escapes the value. $:foo renders it verbatim.

You probably want to call $:safemarkdown(note.description) - note the colon after the $ - this outputs the result of the expression without escaping it (a second time).

That did the job, thanks!
