| ``autoescape``
==============
Whether automatic escaping is enabled or not, you can mark a section of a
template to be escaped or not by using the ``autoescape`` tag:
.. code-block:: jinja
    {# The following syntax works as of Twig 1.8 -- see the note below for previous versions #}
    {% autoescape %}
        Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
        using the HTML strategy
    {% endautoescape %}
    {% autoescape 'html' %}
        Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
        using the HTML strategy
    {% endautoescape %}
    {% autoescape 'js' %}
        Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
        using the js escaping strategy
    {% endautoescape %}
    {% autoescape false %}
        Everything will be outputted as is in this block
    {% endautoescape %}
.. note::
    Before Twig 1.8, the syntax was different:
    .. code-block:: jinja
        {% autoescape true %}
            Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
            using the HTML strategy
        {% endautoescape %}
        {% autoescape false %}
            Everything will be outputted as is in this block
        {% endautoescape %}
        {% autoescape true js %}
            Everything will be automatically escaped in this block
            using the js escaping strategy
        {% endautoescape %}
When automatic escaping is enabled everything is escaped by default except for
values explicitly marked as safe. Those can be marked in the template by using
the :doc:`raw<../filters/raw>` filter:
.. code-block:: jinja
    {% autoescape %}
        {{ safe_value|raw }}
    {% endautoescape %}
Functions returning template data (like :doc:`macros<macro>` and
:doc:`parent<../functions/parent>`) always return safe markup.
.. note::
    Twig is smart enough to not escape an already escaped value by the
    :doc:`escape<../filters/escape>` filter.
.. note::
    The chapter :doc:`Twig for Developers<../api>` gives more information
    about when and how automatic escaping is applied.
