Better Django include_raw, for escaping included files in templates

include_raw.py

# To make this work, put this file in the templatetags directory of your app
# (make it if it doesn't exist, and make sure to add a blank __init__.py file
# if it doesn't already exist). Then from your template call
#     {% load include_raw %} {% include_raw 'some_template' %}
