In GAE I use jinja2 with the autoescape, and everything works well.
import jinja2
jinja_env = jinja2.Environment(loader = jinja2.FileSystemLoader(template_dir), autoescape = True)
In one template I don't want the autoescape, so I tried to disable it like this:
{% autoescape false %}
{{content}}
{% endautoescape %}
When it's time to render this template I get the message Encountered unknown tag 'autoescape'.
In order for the autoescape
tag to be recognized, you need to enable the autoescape extension when setting up jinja2, like this:
jinja_env = jinja2.Environment(loader = jinja2.FileSystemLoader(template_dir),
autoescape = True,
extensions = ['jinja2.ext.autoescape'])
Also, make sure you're using jinja2 version 2.4 or higher in your app.yaml (the current version is GAE is 2.6):
libraries:
- name: jinja2
version: "2.6"
For more information, see the documentation for the autoescape extension.
