Documentation mistake when using an escaping example

[lukejackson]

On: ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/, it gives an example of a string that you definitely need to escape:

{{ data|default:"3 > 2" }} <-- Bad! Don't do this.

However, the > symbol doesn't need to be escaped outside of the inner contents of a tag. Perhaps a better example would be the < character.

The documentation is great, btw, very easy to read and accessible.

Testing file for html validation

I couldn't found any documentation about it, but I tried attached file on ​http://validator.w3.org/ and ticket report is correct, so validator only complains for lesser than character, not greater than.

Patch with a better example on documentation.

Documentation modified for using an example that actually isn't correct.

Definitely, Django is a web framework for perfectionists... ;)

There's actually nothing wrong with this example. It's a fragment of a template and what's to say it isn't wrapped in a tag in the rest of the template? It would also be bad practice to leave the "<" unescaped, since if you later did end up wrapping it inside something that needed it to be escaped, you would introduce problems.

(In [7811]) Changed a documentation example that wasn't wrong to stop complaints.

Fixed #7544.
