The reference documentation for `django.template.Engine` says
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/templates/api/#configuring-an-
engine the following]:
* `autoescape` controls whether HTML autoescaping is enabled.
It defaults to `True`.
Based on this, I would expect the following to print `<>`:
{{{#!python
import django.template
django.template.Engine(autoescape=False)
t = e.from_string('{{x}}')
print(t.render(django.template.Context({'x': '<>'})))
}}}
But it doesn't, it prints `<>`. So it seems that the `autoescape`
parameter does nothing.
Either the code should be updated to make the parameter work, or the docs
should explain what it actually does.
