Question

I’m using Pylons with Mako templates and I want to avoid typing this all the time:

${ h.some_function_that_outputs_html() | n }

I want to somehow mark the function, or a variable as safe (you can do that in Django) so I don’t have to pipe-en all the time. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I just found out that if you put a html method in your class, then Mako will just call that method and output whatever it returns in the template.

So I did:

def __html__(self):
    return unicode(self)

That’s basically what h.literal does.
