``autoescape``
==============
Whether automatic escaping is enabled or not, you can mark a section of a
template to be escaped or not by using the ``autoescape`` tag:
.. code-block:: jinja
{# The following syntax works as of Twig 1.8 -- see the note below for previous versions #}
{% autoescape %}
Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
using the HTML strategy
{% endautoescape %}
{% autoescape 'html' %}
Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
using the HTML strategy
{% endautoescape %}
{% autoescape 'js' %}
Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
using the js escaping strategy
{% endautoescape %}
{% autoescape false %}
Everything will be outputted as is in this block
{% endautoescape %}
.. note::
Before Twig 1.8, the syntax was different:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% autoescape true %}
Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
using the HTML strategy
{% endautoescape %}
{% autoescape false %}
Everything will be outputted as is in this block
{% endautoescape %}
{% autoescape true js %}
Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
using the js escaping strategy
{% endautoescape %}
When automatic escaping is enabled everything is escaped by default except for
values explicitly marked as safe. Those can be marked in the template by using
the :doc:`raw<../filters/raw>` filter:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% autoescape %}
{{ safe_value|raw }}
{% endautoescape %}
Functions returning template data (like :doc:`macros<macro>` and
:doc:`parent<../functions/parent>`) always return safe markup.
.. note::
Twig is smart enough to not escape an already escaped value by the
:doc:`escape<../filters/escape>` filter.
.. note::
The chapter :doc:`Twig for Developers<../api>` gives more information
about when and how automatic escaping is applied.
