Django says there's 3 ways to turn off autoescape:
- Use
|safe
after the variable
- Use
{% autoescape on %}
and {% endautoescape %}
within blocks
- Use a Context like
context = Context({'message': message}, autoescape=False)
(1) and (2) work fine. But I have the situation where I have templates to generate plain-text push notifications, and I have LOADS of templates to build and maintain. I could go through and put the {% autoescape on %}
and {% endautoescape %}
tags in all of them, but (3) should allow me to do it in one line in the view.
The template:
{% block ios_message %}{{message}}{% endblock %}
The view:
message = u"'&<>"
context = Context({'message': message}, autoescape=False)
render_block_to_string(template_name, 'ios_message', context)
The output:
u''&<>
The code for block_render.py is from here: https://github.com/uniphil/Django-Block-Render/blob/master/block_render.py. I'm using it as is from there.
Anyone know what gives?
Take a closer look to function render_block_to_string()
:
def render_block_to_string(template_name, block, dictionary=None,
context_instance=None):
"""Return a string
Loads the given template_name and renders the given block with the
given dictionary as context.
"""
dictionary = dictionary or {}
t = _get_template(template_name)
if context_instance:
context_instance.update(dictionary)
else:
context_instance = Context(dictionary)
return render_template_block(t, block, context_instance)
The 3rd arg should be a dict, not context. Otherwise it would use the normal context instance.
So I believe it should be:
render_block_to_string(template_name, 'ios_message', {}, context)
Hope it helps.
I could solve it my doing it like that:
from django.template.context import make_context
from django.template.loader import get_template
# Getting the template either by a path or creating the Template object yourself
template = get_template('your/path/to/the/template.html')
# Note here the 'template.template' and the 'autoescape=False' parameter
subject = template.template.render(make_context(context, autoescape=False))
Found it by doing that myself. Because by default the autoescape setting will be used from the engine
