title: How to include links in blog post
body: <p>I have built a blog with Django. In my BlogPost model I have a text field named "content". When I compose a blog post via the admin panel, any custom HTML (links, code blocks, external images) that I enter is rendered in the template as static, literal text - not it's true semantic HTML.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a blog that allows blog posts to use markdown. No one else is making posts except me, and there is not client-facing form throughout the entire site (except the admin login page). How do I turn off escaping so that I can use custom HTML like italics, bold, links, external images, h1's, h3's, paragraphs, etc in my blog posts?</p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to find a resource to learn from but am coming up short. Should I use a preconfigured markdown app, or roll my own?</p>
