Hi all, While using templates to produce something other than HTML (latex by the way), I wanted to use my own escape function, instead of the HTML-oriented default in autoescape.
This is of course not too difficult with filters and turning of autoescape, but it would be very nice if I could get the autoescape framework to use my own custom escape function. I found a ticket (#14057, [1]) that was requesting the same thing, but was closed as wontfix. A reason for doing this was that the change would a) require lots of difficult changes and b) not be backwards compatible. Luke left the door open for a "beautiful patch" to rescue the ticket and I wonder if what I'm about to suggest would be enough. Could a callable be passed to Context() in the autoescape parameter, in order to define a custom escape function? I've attached a simple patch to the ticket [2] and would be happy to write tests and documentation if this approach is enough to overcome the "wontfix". Have I overlooked something? Cheers, Will [1] http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14057 [2] http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/14057/14057-context-parameter.diff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
