CSRF Middleware - Change Csrf_token Output (from XHTML To HTML)

I've a problem with django csrf middleware... when I use the template tag csrf_token I get this output:

Copy

In your template, this will return only the token key, so you can write your own valid HTML input tag, like this.

<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="{% with csrf_token as csrf_token_clean %}{{ csrf_token_clean }}{% endwith %}" >

Solution 2:

The solution is actually very simple:

<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="{{ csrf_token }}">

There is no point in {% with %} construct.

Solution 3:

You have to go and edit django.template.defaulttags.py: At line 48 there is the output of the tag, and you may change it as you wish.

Please note that this is a development feature, and as such, subject to change - updating Django will likely remove your change!.
Also, please take the time to go look for a ticket about this particular problem: the solution I proposed will likely fix your problem, but I think that an “official” fix would be a lot nicer.
