[Tutor] Having a problem with markdown

[ian douglas]

Hey all,

I followed a tutorial on creating a very simple wiki in Python, which 
worked fine until the example where the instructor wanted to render the 
output through markdown.markdown()

Here's the view code:

from agwiki.wiki.models import Page
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
import markdown

def view_page(request, page_name):
    try:
        page = Page.objects.get(pk=page_name)
    except Page.DoesNotExist:
        return render_to_response("create.html", {"page_name":page_name})
    content = page.content
    return 
render_to_response("view.html",{"page_name":page_name,"content":markdown.markdown(content)})

The problem I'm having is that the output in a browser is outputing HTML 
markers as &lt; and &gt; instead of < and > so the browser literally 
shows "<p>hello world</p>". If I leave the line as it originally was:

    return 
render_to_response("view.html",{"page_name":page_name,"content":content})

It just prints "hello world" as saved in the database. I'm just not sure 
where to start looking for a solution here, and would appreciate any 
pointers.
