Preserving an HTML/non-HTML version of a WMD textarea in Django?

I setup the default wmd.js to my admin textareas for my Bug models. Now it gets saved as HTML and when I go to edit the entry in the admin, I see the literal HTML:

<p>foo</p>

What strategy could I use so it only renders this <p>foo</p> in the views/HTML instead of the edit view?

Solution

  • It seems I had to make the Markdown save as "Markdown" type, and use the markdown Django module to keep a second column of my textarea (the pure one).
