HTML not rendering in Django text box

I'm trying to use markdown to avoid typing HTML in my wiki form, but for some reason the form displays HTML code instead of the intended formatting.

My view function is as follows:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from mywiki.wiki.models import Page
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
import markdown


def view_page(request, page_name):
    try:
        page = Page.objects.get(pk=page_name)
    except Page.DoesNotExist:
        return render_to_response('create.html', {'page_name':page_name})

    content = page.content    
    return render_to_response('view.html', {'page_name':page_name, 'content':markdown.markdown(content)})

This is my view.html template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load wikilink %}

{% block title %}{{page_name}}{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
        <h1>{{page_name}}</h1>
        {{content|wikify}}
        <hr/>
        <a href='/mywiki/{{page_name}}/edit/'>Edit this page?</a>

{% endblock %}

And this is my base.html:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>{{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
    </head>
    <body>
<div>
Menu: <a href='/mywiki/Start/'>Start Page</a>
</div>
        {% block content %}
        {% endblock %}
    </body>
</html>

I have an established markdown and the version of Django is 1.4.1 (Mac).

Thank.

Use Django's safe filter so that your HTML is not escaped.

{{ content|safe }}

{% autoescape off %}
{{content|wikify}}
{% endautoescape %}

perhaps...
