HTML format on Django text field model

Question

I want to create a blog. I want to create blog content in admin panel and render the blog content with HTML format.

models.py

class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    content = models.TextField()
    date_created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)

def __str__(self):
    return self.title

In admin panel : Create blog content with HTML format in admin

In template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{{ blog.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ blog.content }}</p>
{% endblock content %}

Is there any template tags, model field, or anything to do this?

You can do this by simply using the built in safe template tag.

In your template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{{ blog.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ blog.content | safe }}</p>
{% endblock content %}

check the docs for the same here.

Avoid using the "safe" filter unless absolutely necessary. The "safe" filter disables automatic HTML escaping, which can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if untrusted data is used in a template.

You have some options.

You can use a Content Management System (CMS) like django CMS or Wagtail.
If you don't want to add the complexity of having a full CMS, you can add a simple rich text editor (WYSIWYG editor) like CKEditor or tiny.
