You can use the template tag: safe.

Let’s say that your post context variable is: quote = @Mike is a fool

Grab @Mike, and add the html to make it a link and reinsert it when saving the post. So the saved post is:

quote = <a href="mikes_homepage">@Mike</a> is a fool

And then use safe in your html template:

{{ quote|safe }}

Here is the documentation link for safe template tags:

Facebook asks from the browser to their database at each keypress after @. As soon as you select the user name, lets say @Mike they add an input field to the form with the value you selected, something like:

<input value="@12345678:Mike"></input>.

You submit the comment, and the server processes your request, substituting @Mike in your textbox with whatever they want using the <input> value.

this should work
after you save your form put this script


p = re.compile('@[a-z]+')
for word in yourform.comment.split():
if p.match(word) != None:
new_word=list(word)[1:len(list(word))]
name=''
for elenemts in new_word:
name += elements

write below line in ‘if’ condition(not able to write here with proper indentation) 

new_comment=re.sub('@[a-z]+','<a href='+name+'s_profile>'+name+'</a>',yourform.comment)`

now in your template render your “new_comment” as safe

{{ new_comment|safe }}
