I am using Flask render_template method to render my html page as below:
render_template('index.html', content="<div>Hello World!</div>")
My index.html is:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
{{content}}
</body>
</html>
My page is replacing the content variable, but it is rendering <div>Hello World!</div> as text.
Is there a way to render html from render_template context variables?
Flask turns on Jinja's autoescape feature. Quoting the manual on how to disable it:
There are three ways to accomplish that:
In the Python code, wrap the HTML string in a Markup object before passing it to the template. This is in general the recommended way.
Inside the template, use the |safe filter to explicitly mark a string as safe HTML ({{ myvariable|safe }})`
Temporarily disable the autoescape system altogether.
If you do not require passing in HTML tags into the template, you may simply do something that looks like this
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
{{content}}
</div>
</body>
</html>
@app.route('/')
def home():
render_template('index.html', content="Hello World!")
This should be perfectly fine. If you do want to add html into your content variable, then the answer by @Ture Pålsson is the best way forward.
