- 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 %}
...
{{ myvar|markdown:"STYLE" }} {# convert `myvar` to HTML using the "STYLE" style #}
{{ myvar|markdown }} {# same as `{{ myvar|markdown:"default" }}` #}
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 %}
