Python list to django javascript as text

Question

Hello my generated python output list is

l = ["one","two","there"]

I am passing that to a django html script as {{list}}

in the html it is shown as

[&#39;one&#39;,&#39;two&#39;,&#39;three&#39;

which i can't use for my javascript, how do i pass this correctly, even I tried json_dumps like

l = json_dumps (["one","two","there"])

it just shows as following in html

[&quote;one&quote;,&quote;two&quote;,&quote;three&quote;]

How are you passing that to the template? Please try to create a minimal reproducible example — Sayse

yes, I have done those correctly . Daniel Rosema's method works {{list|safe}} instead of {{list}} anyway thanks for the comment Sayse .. — Josemon Maliakal

There are two steps here. Firstly, you need to make the view send valid JSON; you've done this with json_dumps.

Secondly, you need to ensure that the template outputs it without escaping. You do that by marking it as safe, with {{ data|safe }} (assuming your data is in a variable called data).
