Django-Jinja (Jinja2) extension and filter to parse markdown text in templates.

• Django 3.2+
• Django-Jinja
• Python-Markdown

Install django-jinja-markdown:

pip install django-jinja-markdown

Add django_jinja_markdown to INSTALLED_APPS.

To be able to use the {% markdown %} tag you should add the Jinja extension to your django_jinja TEMPLATES extensions list:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django_jinja.backend.Jinja2',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'extensions': [
                'django_jinja_markdown.extensions.MarkdownExtension',
            ],
        }
    },
]

Examples of using filter in template:

{{ content|markdown }}
{{ markdown('this is **bold**') }}

Or with additional settings:

{{ content|markdown(extensions=['nl2br',]) }}
{{ markdown(content, extensions=['nl2br',]) }}

Example of using extension:

{% markdown %}
Text which will get converted with Markdown.
{% endmarkdown %}
