Question

A snippet of my template –

{% block content %}
    {{ message.subject }}
    {{ message.content }}
{% endblock %}

My message.content = " Check this out - /<a href="http://RigWave.In"> RigWave </a> "

If you want to render as HTML (as a link) like this –

” Check this out – RigWave ”

After looking at your unedited post, I’m wondering if you replaced the link tags with [ to prevent SO from rendering it as a link (though “ takes care of it).

If you actually have properly formatted links in the CharField, you need to mark the string as safe to prevent auto HTML escaping.

{{ message.content|safe }}

or

{% autoescape off %}
    {{ body }}
{% endautoescape %}
