Django provides template filters that implement the following markup languages:
In each case, the filter expects formatted markup as a string and returns a string representing the marked-up text. For example, the textile filter converts text that is marked-up in Textile format to HTML.
To activate these filters, add 'django.contrib.markup' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting. Once you’ve done that, use {% load markup %} in a template, and you’ll have access to these filters. For more documentation, read the source code in django/contrib/markup/templatetags/markup.py.
Warning
The output of markup filters is marked “safe” and will not be escaped when rendered in a template. Always be careful to sanitize your inputs and make sure you are not leaving yourself vulnerable to cross-site scripting or other types of attacks.
When using the restructuredtext markup filter you can define a RESTRUCTUREDTEXT_FILTER_SETTINGS in your django settings to override the default writer settings. See the restructuredtext writer settings for details on what these settings are.
