  • on PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-markdown-deux/

django-markdown-deux is a small Django app that provides template tags for using Markdown using the python-markdown2 library. MIT license.

What's with the “deux” in the name?

The obvious name for this project in django-markdown2. However, there already is one! and name confusion doesn't help anybody. Plus, I took French immersion in school for 12 years: might as well put it to use.

Quick Usage

markdown template filter

{% load markdown_deux_tags %}
...
Liquid error: stack level too deep}}     {# convert `myvar` to HTML using the "STYLE" style #}
Liquid error: stack level too deep}}             {# same as `Liquid error: stack level too deep}}` #}

markdown template block tag

{% load markdown_deux_tags %}
...
{% markdown STYLE %}        {# can omit "STYLE" to use the "default" style #}
This is some **cool**
[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)
text here.
{% endmarkdown %}

See more usage info, available settings, installation notes, etc. at the github project page. (I mention on Moz planet because Benjamin is, or was, using python-markdown2 and I've heard Mozilla is using more Django these days.)
