Safe Filter for HTML
A snippet showing how to mark strings as safe HTML in templates.
# models.py
from django.db import models
class Snippet(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
html = models.TextField()
def __str__(self):
return self.title
# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Snippet
@admin.register(Snippet)
class SnippetAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ("title",)
# templates/snippet_detail.html
<div>{{ snippet.html|safe }}</div>
Explanation:
-
By default Django escapes variables;
|safemarks a value as safe HTML. - Only use on trusted content; sanitize user-generated HTML before storing.
- Prefer server-side sanitization (e.g., Bleach) for untrusted input.
