I can't understand the django-markdownx's

It is kind of embarrassing. But I can't seems to understand django-markdownx's documentation on how to use the app. I've followed the Getting Started guide, installed the app and dependencies, added jquery and it works in the Admin backend. But the template doesn't render text = MarkdownxField() as correctly formatted markdown, but as plain text.

I don't understand the part ...and then, include a form's required media in the template using {{ form.media }}:

<form method="POST" action="">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
</form>
{{ form.media }}

I tried to add that code just before the article tag in my template.

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
    <form method="POST" action="">{% csrf_token %}
        {{ form }}
    </form>
    {{ form.media }}
    <article>
        <h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
        <p>{{ article.text }}</p>
        <div>{{ article.pub_date }} {{ article.category }} {{ article.tag }}</div>
    </article>
{% endblock %}

But it doesn't fix it.

What I'm I missing? I know it is trivial. But I have no experience with forms.

    text = MarkdownxField()
    pub_date = models.DateField(verbose_name='udgivelsesdato')
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, verbose_name='kategori', null=True)
    tag = models.ForeignKey(Tag, verbose_name='mærke', null=True)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('article-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

Ok, I see your issue now (thank you for handling my questions:) ). django-markdownx provides you with the ability to have a Markdown editor inside of your forms. It does not, however, format that markdown when shown in a template - it's just plain text.

According to this issue on the project's GitHub you need to render the markdown in your views and then pass that to your template. Another way of doing this, which I would prefer if I were using this in a project:

from markdownx.utils import markdownify

class Article(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=250, verbose_name='title')
    text = MarkdownxField()
    pub_date = models.DateField(verbose_name='udgivelsesdato')
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, verbose_name='kategori', null=True)
    tag = models.ForeignKey(Tag, verbose_name='mærke', null=True)

    # Create a property that returns the markdown instead
    @property
    def formatted_markdown(self):
        return markdownify(self.text)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('article-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

    class Meta():
        verbose_name = 'artikel'
        verbose_name_plural = 'artikler'

then in your template:

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
    <article>
    <h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
    <p>{{ article.formatted_markdown|safe }}</p>
    <div>{{ article.pub_date }}</div>
    </article>
{% endblock %}
