How do you render a variable as html using flask?

Question

Using flask, I'm passing in a list of dictionaries to one of the pages. One of the variables contains html text (ex:var x = <h1>hello</h1>). How would I get it to display as

hello

rather than just print out "<h1>hello</h1>"? Here's my code so far (post.description has the html variable; It's equal to <h1>hello</h1>):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>

    </head>
    <body>
    {% for post in posts %}
        <p>{{post.title}}<p>

        {{post.description}}
        
    {% endfor %}
    </body>

</html>

You can use safe to render the HTML code with Jinja.
Example: {{ post.description | safe }}
