Render html response from string in python tornado library

Question

I need to render response from html string in tornado like this:

self.method_to_render_html_from_string('<h1>Hello</h1>')

How can I do it? Tornado version is 6.1. Here how it's displayed as for now: enter image description here

Answers, not related to tornado, are appreciated too :)

Answer 1

If you want to send a response, use self.write:

def get(self):
    self.write('<h1>Hello</h1>')

If you want to generate html from template string, then use tornado.template.Template:

from tornado.template import Template

def get(string):
    t = Template('<h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>')
    self.write(t.generate(name='John'))

---

Update:

If the response is being sent as plain text, you can try setting the Content-Type: text/html header to send the response as HTML:

def get(self):
    self.set_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
    self.write('<h1>Hello</h1>)
