Yes. You will need to write a custom template tag to parse the contents of the object as a template, render it within the current context and return the generated data. Writing a custom template tag: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/custom-template-tags/#writing-custom-template-tags Rendering templates to string: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/templates/api/#rendering-a-context Your content.html would then look something like this, assuming you called the custom tag 'render': {% for each in entries %} <p>{% render each.entry %}</p> {% endfor %} Beware the massive security holes if you allow users to generate content that your site then renders as a template.
