Is there a way to make the template process {{ MEDIA_URL }} if it is stored in a model field.

Hello,

I have a seemingly straight forward and likely common issue. But there is no obvious way that I am seeing to make it work.

I have a Blog model with a text field called entry. I want to put something like

<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/images/my_image.jpg">

into the blog post. So Blog.entry would contain it. Then I use the template to display my blog post like

{% for post in posts %} <p>{{ post.entry }}</p> {% endfor %}

But the template does not process {{ MEDIA_URL }}. It just sees it as a string and prints it exactly as passed in.

How do I get the template to treat {{ }} in my entry as a variable? How can I get that value substituted? I have used a custom template filter in the past. But this has got to be a very common use case. It seems like there would be some built in django way to get this to work?

Thanks,
Dennis
