[Answer]-Template tag inside object TextField

✅

As Django’s template engine can easily be used anywhere in your code you should be able to do something like this:

from django.template import Context, Template
rendered = Template("{% load your_tag_library %}",
    object.textfield).render(Context())

Rather than rendering the template from a file it renders it from a string like:

"{% load your_tag_library %}lorem ipsum dolor {% mytag %}"

The code can for instance be used in your view or as a method on your model. Note that the Context is empty, you might as well pass a dict with template variables to it.

Furthermore, to handle it directly in the template you could write a custom templatetag which does something similiar, basically a templatetag that parses strings for templatetags.
