#19577 closed Bug (fixed)

admin doc may encourage bad practices

Reported by: foo@… Owned by: nobody
Component: Documentation Version: 1.4

Description

On https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/ two places example code demonstrate allow_tags=True in order to return HTML fragments containing <span> tags. Inside these tags data (self.first_name and self.last_name) is not escaped/quoted.

As such example code often is copy/pasted it probably should reflect "best practices"?

Yes, this should definitely use format_html (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/utils/#django.utils.html.format_html). Do you think you can wipe up a patch for that?

The indendation is wrong at https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/19577/19577.diff#L45 and you need to manually call safe on the arguments of the join https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/19577/19577.diff#L63 -- otherwise it looks good to me.

EDIT:// You should be able to use https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/html.py#L88 (format_html_join) in the last example.

Thanks for taking a look. I don't think the example is meant to assume that get_full_address() returns a safe string, but maybe I interpreted it differently. I added a comment to try to explain what I thought the intent of the example was in addition to the other fixes you mentioned (plus documenting format_html_join).
