Re: Escaping of help_text in form fields

It's expected behavior and mentioned in the model field help_text docs, but not form field help_text docs. I'll fix that.

Hi !

Just stumbled upon this issue, with django 1.8.6:

from django import forms
from django.template import Template, Context
class A(forms.Form):

    f = forms.CharField(help_text=u'bli "blo" >', label="bla <")
 
Template("{{form.as_p}}").render(Context({"form": A()}))


# returns:

u'<p><label for="id_f">bla &lt;:</label> <input id="id_f" name="f" type="text" /> <span class="helptext">bli "blo" ></span></p>'

The label is escaped, but not the help_text.

• Is that a bug ?
  
• or should I mark all my help_text as unsafe ?

I did not find anything relevant in the doc or with google.

Regards,
