Question

Hi how should I escape to make the link render?

The way I write it now is with filter:
{{article.text|striptags|urlize|nl2br|safe}}

Can you recommend how to do it?

Thank you

Usually I’d like to use HTMLParser for processing (overkill maybe?), sample code below for Python 2.7 (3.0 library is renamed html.parser)

from HTMLParser import HTMLParser

class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
    def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
        print "Found Start Tag", attrs

s = "noivos, convites de casamento <a href=\"http://www.olharcaricato.com.br\">
        http://www.olharcaricato.com.br</a> more entries here"

parser = MyHTMLParser()
parser.feed(s)

Outputs: Found Start Tag [('href', 'http://www.olharcaricato.com.br')]

Note: Implement the code above as a filter, tweak the output to your needs. Example of filter is found at Custom jinja2 filter for iterator
