Good evening, fellow developers! Today, we are diving into an interesting problem that many of us face when working with Django - rendering HTML text that is saved inside a database field. Let’s explore the steps to solve this issue effectively!

The Problem

Imagine you have a Django application designed to send personalized emails, and you want to include HTML content that you've stored in the database.

Unfortunately, you face an issue with the line where you're trying to render the template against the context.

The Solution

Step-by-Step Guide

Why This Works

Template: The Template class allows you to create a template object from a string. This is essential when your HTML content is stored as a string in the database.

Context: By using the Context, you're able to pass dynamic values to the template, allowing placeholders like {{curso}}, {{dt_hr_inicio}}, and {{dt_hr_fim}} to be replaced with actual values at runtime.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can seamlessly render HTML text stored in your Django database fields. Now, those beautiful templates you’ve created will be emailed as intended, complete with the dynamic content!

We hope this guide has been helpful in solving your rendering challenges in Django. Keep coding, and happy developing!
