Django Variable Wrapped in Paragraph Tag - django

Question

I am using django-ckeditor as a WYSIWYG text editor when creating posts. It captures and saves the content and the correct HTML tags without any problem. However, my template renders the variable surrounded by <p> tags, which ruins the RichTextField because <p> tags cannot be nested. As a result, it was showing all of the text (with tags) as a paragraph with no formatting. I realized that this was happening, so I changed the surrounding tags in my template to <div> tags, but when the template is loaded on the browser, it replaces the div tags with paragraph tags again. How can I get rid of the <p> tags so that my text is rendered with the correct formatting?
Here is my template:
{% extends 'bandwagon/base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<article class="media content-section">
<img src="{{ post.author.profile.image.url }}" alt="profile photo" class="rounded-circle article-img">
<div class="media-body">
<img src="{{ post.image.url }}" class="post-img">
<div class="article-metadata">
<a class="mr-2" href="{% url 'user-posts' object.author.username %}">{{ object.author }}</a>
<small class="text-muted">{{ object.date_posted | date:'F d, Y'}}</small>
{% if object.author == user %}
<div>
Edit
Delete
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
<h2 class='article-title-detail'>{{ object.title }}</h2>
<div class="article-content">{{ object.content | safe }}</div>
</div>
</article>
{% endblock content %}
However, in the browser, the response is this:
<p class="article-content"><h3>Fake Content</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:13px">Fake Content</span></h3></p>

Answer 1

By default CKEditor RichTextField adds <p> tags around the content of the field.
If that's the reason you keep seeing <p> around your content, you can customizing your CKEditor editor, so it will not add the <p> like this:
#base.py
CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
'default': {
'autoParagraph': False
},
}
You can also create a specific configuration and set specific fields to use it.
