title: How do I get html tags in variables to work?
body: <p>My code looks like this</p>
  
  <p>Python:</p>
  
  <pre><code>render = web.template.render('templates/', base="layout")
  .
  .
  .
  fileout_text = codecs.open(filename_text, 'r', 'utf-8').read()
  text = markdown.markdown(fileout_text)
  return render.text_temple(text=text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>text_template.html</code>:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$def with text
       &lt; text&gt;$text &lt; /text&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now <code>$text</code> should contain html tags instead of markdown syntax.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that the tags stay as text when the website is displayed &ndash; why is that?</p>
