That is easy but dangerous. You need to permit only a subset of
markup.
In your views you need to bleach [1] the user entered data then
mark_safe() it. Bleach has a default set of html tags probably
including
<h1> and <strong> but you can add others. For all other tags it will
convert angle brackets into > and < thus disabling them.
Django's
mark_safe will deliver any real tags to the browser.
