Storing HTML (or other markup) in strings is meaningful, but I don't see how slugify can generally correct for format-to-slug. If you want no-HTML slugs, how about: === from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify from django.utils.html import strip_entities slug = slugify(strip_entities(your_html)) === ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
