Built-in template filter "Safe"

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have just taken over a Django project. But I must confess that I am an absolute newbie. I have a problem. I have an email template subject that looks like this:

IT Severity {% if case.severity == "low" %}4{% endif %}{% if case.severity == "medium" %}3{% endif %}{% if case.severity == "high" %}2{% endif %}{% if case.severity == "critical" %}1{% endif %} - {% if case.caseupdate_set.first.update_state == "solved" %}{% if case.caseupdate_set.all|length < 2 %}Directly {% endif %}{% endif %}{{ case.caseupdate_set.first.update_state|upper }} - {{ case.reference_number }} [{{  case.title  }}]

In the Case.title the following characters are used from time to time:

< is converted to &lt;
> is converted to &gt;
' (single quote) is converted to &#x27;
" (double quote) is converted to &quot;
& is converted to &amp;

I was told that I could work around this with the tag “safe”. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to insert this tag. Can you help me?

Side note: When posting code or templates here, post the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then the code (or template), then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep the code properly formatted. (I’ve taken the liberty of editing your original post.)

It’s not a tag, it’s a filter. See the docs for the safe filter

Ok, but where do I have to add this filter in my template?

5

What does the example of its usage in the docs suggest?
