Question

I’m using django messages and i want to put an hyperlink in it.

view.py:

from django.contrib import messages

def my_view(request):
    messages.info(request,"My message with an <a href='/url'>hyperlink</a>")

Obviously, in my page, i see the html code and no hyperlink. How to treat the message as an htlml code ?

Hope this is clear.

Strings in Django templates are automatically escaped. You don’t want your raw HTML to be auto-escaped, so you should either pass the string to the safe filter:

{{ message|safe }}

or disable autoescape with the autoescape tag:

{% autoescape off %}
    {{ message }}
{% endautoescape %}
