This feels like a really silly issue, but I'm confused by the behavior of django-zinnia, a blog creation module.
When I test enter a plain text post, it appends each sentence with html < p > tags the browser doesn't read as html.
Example, if I enter this into the database (no html):
The entry from the db renders on page itself like this as if the < p > markup was plain text:
Within Zinnia, these html tags are being generated as part of the {{ object_content }} object in _entry_detail_base.html
<div class="entry-content">
{{ object_content }}
</div>
I've looked through the entry.py models within Zinnia and I'm having trouble identifying where these tags are coming from or how they're being passed in in a way the browser doesn't interpret them for what they are (html). Is there a filter I can apply that might solve this? thanks
That's the default behavior for Django templates. Use
{{ object_content|safe }}
or{% autoescape off %} {{ object_content }} {% endautoescape %}
(for multiple variables) to prevent html entities from being escaped.Note that using the
safe
filter doesn't automatically mean the output is not escaped if you use another filter after it.
