Making Django ignore string literals
UPDATE 2: The problem isn't a Django problem at all - Python was definitely stripping out the characters befor开发者_高级运维e it got to Django. The fix is to define the string as raw
inputs['variable'] = r'{\bf this is code} \\'
UPDATE: It turns out this is a deeper question than I thought at first glance - the issue is that python is replacing the string literals before they ever get to django. I will do more investigating and update this if I find a solution.
I'm using django to work with LaTeX templates for report generation, and am running into a lot of problems with the way Django replaces parts of strings.
Specficially, I've run into two problems where I try to insert a variable containing latex code.
The first was that it would replace HTML characters, such as the less than symbol, with their HTML codes, which are of course gibberish to a LaTeX interpreter. I fixed this by setting the context to never autoescape, like so:
c = Context(inputs)
c.autoescape = False
However, I still have my second issue, which is that Django replaces string literals with their corresponding characers, so a double backslash becomes \, and \b becomes a backspace. How can I force Django to leave these characters in place, so
inputs['variable'] = '{\bf this is code} \\'
won't get mangled when I use
{{variable}}
to reference it in the django template?
As noted in the updates above, it wasn't a problem with Django at all - Python was interpreting the string literals before the string even made it to Django. The fix was to define the string as raw.
inputs['variable'] = r'{\bf this is code} \\'
