django-markup

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

The documentation is available at http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-markup/en/latest/

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 simply run python setup.py test which will invoke a Tox collection testing against various Python and Django versions.

For a specific local installation run python runtests.py.
