Django - How do I use the URL template tag in a format_html safe string?

I'm trying to include the URL template tag in a string that I have created using the format_html method:

message = format_html(
            '''<div>
               <p>{0} wants to join {1}!</p>
               {% url 'accounts:detail' pk={2} as profile_url %}
               <p>
               View their
               <a href="{{ profile_url }}">profile</a>
               </p>
               <div>Approve</div>
               <div>Deny</div>
               </div>
           ''',
           self.request_user.username,
           self.lab.name,
           self.request_user.pk)

The html that is outputted to the browser looks like this:

<a href="{ url 'accounts:detail' pk=4}">profile</a>

Basically my url tag without the %'s.

I have tried escaping the % by typing:

{%% url 'accounts:detail' pk={2} as profile_url %%}

But I receive the same output.

Any ideas?

You can directly create the URL with reverse():

message = format_html(
        '''<div>
           <p>{0} wants to join {1}!</p>
           <p>
           View their
           <a href="{2}">profile</a>
           </p>
           <div>Approve</div>
           <div>Deny</div>
           </div>
       ''',
       self.request_user.username,
       self.lab.name,
       reverse('accounts:detail', kwargs={'pk':self.request_user.pk})
)

You should probably try using {{ profile_url|safe }} or use {% autoescape %} Autoescappe
