Thank you! Just what I needed.

Unfortunately this overwrites the existing attrs for the widget. I’m sure there’s a workaround but I don’t need it right now :-).

Thanks, varikin.

Like Ed, I’m having the problem of the preview not working.

I found this:

But I’m having a hard time how to translate that into Django.

I noticed your post says “I have some server side hooks to process the save and preview, but I will get to that in another post.”

So any idea when we might see that second post? :)

Great tutorial thank you!

I have one problem: the preview window (when I hit the checkmark in the markitup bar) just renders exactly what is written in the input, not parsing it to HTML. Any ideas? I’m using textile instead of markdown, but that shouldn’t matter.

Hello. Very useful. I wanted to point that i had a little issue with this method, and is that i couldn't set the raw_html field as an optional field in the admin, and i had to override formfield_for_dbfield as explained in the post you followed instead of defining the post arg in the PostAdmin. I wold like to rescue the form way so: any idea why this happend?

@Rick, yes, the inner class Media is for Django widgets. It includes those things on the page when rendered.
