django-markup 1.4.1

A generic Django application to convert text with specific markup to html.

django-markup

This app is a generic way to provide filters that convert text into html.

The documentation is available at https://docs.elephant.house/django-markup/

Quickstart

Download and install the package from the python package index (pypi):

$ pip install django-markup

Note that django-markup ships with some filters ready to use, but the more complex packages such as Markdown or ReStructuredText are not part of the code. Please refer the docs which packages are used for the built-in filter.

An alternative is to install django-markup with all filter dependencies right away. Do so with:

$ pip install django-markup[all_filter_dependencies]

Then add it to the INSTALLED_APPS list:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_markup',
)

Use it in the template:

{% load markup_tags %}
{{ the_text|apply_markup:"markdown" }}

Or in Python code:

from django_markup.markup import formatter
formatter('Some *Markdown* text.', filter_name='markdown')

Testsuite

To run the testsuite install the project with pipenv and run it:

% pipenv install
$ pipenv run ./runtests.py

You can also test against a variation of Django and Python versions using tox:

$ tox

v1.2 (2017-03-18):

• Updated all filter dependencies. most notably SmartyPants to v2.0 which changed it’s API, so your project dependencies need to update it as well.

v1.1 (2016-05-02):

• The Markdown filter has the safe_mode option enabled by default.

• The RestructuredText filter has the file and raw content inclusion disabled by default.

Backwards incompatible changes:

• Removed Pygments highlighting in the Markdown and RestructuredText filter.

v0.4 (2011-06-01):

• Added a widont filter

• MarkupField is South compatible.

• Tested with Django 1.3

v0.3 (2009-07-29):

django-markup now ships with a builtin creole parser. Advantage is, that the recently used Creoleparser library needs the Genshi lib, which needs a c-compiler and so on. The builtin creole parser is a pure python library without any dependencies and follows the wikicreole.org specifications. django-markup uses the WikiCreole library.
