Database saved text can contain HTML which may interfere with the rendering process. For this by default strings from django auto-escaped (all HTML is ignored and they are rendered raw). If a string needs to be rendered within a template without escaping, it can be marked as safe.
The safe filter enables to mark the content of single variable to be trusted:
.. sourcecode:: django
This will not be escaped: {{ entry.text|safe }}
For whole code blocks the template block can be used:
.. sourcecode:: django
{% autoescape off %}
Render {{ entry.text }}
{% ensautoescape %}
