+Variables could be marked as "safe" by the code which populated the variable,
|
|
|
+by applying the :tfilter:`safe` or :tfilter:`escape` filters, or because it's

|
|
+Within the scope of disabled auto-escaping, chaining filters, including
|
|
|
+:tfilter:`escape`, may cause unexpected (but documented) results such as the
|
|
|
+following:
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|

+ {% autoescape off %}
|
|

|
|
|
+ {% endautoescape %}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The above code will output the joined elements of ``my_list`` unescaped. This
|
|
|
+is because the filter chaining sequence executes first :tfilter:`join` on
|
|
|
+``my_list`` (without applying escaping to each item since ``autoescape`` is
|
|
|
+``off``), marking the result as safe. Subsequently, this safe result will be
|
|
|
+fed to :tfilter:`escape` filter, which does not apply a second round of
|
|
|
+escaping.
