Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe template tag module is named 'markdownify' but the app is 'django_markdownify'. Always use {% load markdownify %} in templates.

fix

Use {% load markdownify %} in your templates.

affects: all

deprecatedIn version 0.9.0, the 'safe' argument was removed. Use 'strip' and whitelist options instead.

fix

Remove 'safe' from filter usage and configure via MARKDOWNIFY settings.

affects: >=0.9.0

breakingVersion 0.9.0 changed the filter name from 'markdown' to 'markdownify'. Templates using {% load markdown %} will break.

fix

Replace {% load markdown %} with {% load markdownify %} and use {{ text|markdownify }}.

affects: >=0.9.0
