Inserting HTML code with Flask [duplicate]

Question

Currently I have this code

boldtext = "<b>I'm bolded!<b>" @app.route('/') def index(): return render_template("index.html", boldtext=boldtext)

and then in my index.html, I have a section of code with {{ boldtext }} in it.

I had thought that once the page loaded I would see this:

I'm bolded!

Instead I see this:

<b>I'm bolded!<b>

Is there anyway for me to pass actual HTML code to the index.html rather than a snippet of just text?

You're looking for the safe filter.

{{ boldtext|safe }}

Okay I actually figured out an answer to this fairly quickly, I tried it before but it didn't work due to syntax. All I have to do is import Markup by doing.

from flask import Markup

and then instead of defining boldtext as

boldtext = "<b>I'm bolded!<b>"

It's instead

boldtext = Markup("<b>I'm bolded!<b>")
