About

Summary

A django field that makes it easy to intersperse ‘stuff’ into blocks of text.

Documentation

Full documentation available at Read the Docs.

A Flexible Interface

django-textplusstuff provides a simple interface for returning the contents of your field however you like: as either markdown-flavored text, valid HTML markup (with or without ‘stuff’ interspersed) or even plain text (with all markdown formatting removed).

Keep Track of Your Content

django-textplusstuff also keeps track of which model instances are associated within each TextPlusStuffField (via the TextPlusStuffLink model) so you can see where all your textplusstuff-integrated content is used across your django project.

Easy Integration

Registering existing models for use in TextPlusStuffFields is as easy as integrating a model into the admin.

Designer/Front-End Developer Friendly

Each model registered with django-textplusstuff can have as many ‘renditions’ as you like which keeps business logic DRY while enabling designers and front-end developers to have control over how content is displayed.
