Insert html django contrib messages

Submitted by jeff on Mon, 01/23/2012 - 22:56.

I wanted to use raw HTML in certain invocations of Django’s Messages architecture such as in messages.success.

When sending your message: 

messages.success(request, mark_safe("""Thanks for your purchase. 
     Your <a href="%s">Account &gt; Payment</a>""" 
     % urlresolvers.reverse(‘account_payment_detail’, kwargs = {‘id’:payment.id})
       ), extra_tags=‘html’)

Modify your Django snippet to skip the web-safe encoding:

{% if ‘html’ in message.tags %}
  {{ message|safe }}
{% else %}
  {{ message }}
{% endif %}
