{% cg %}

and I hava a varialbe {{ status }}
I need to wrap the result of {{ status }} inside a <special></special> HTML tag, and then pass into {%cg  %}, how to write this code in django template?

A: You can write your own filter like this:
from django import template
from django.template.defaultfilters import stringfilter
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe

register = template.Library()

@register.filter
@stringfilter
def wrap(value, tag):
    return mark_safe("<%(tag)s>%(value)s</%(tag)s>" % {'value': value, 'tag': tag})

and use it in template:
{% cg status|wrap:"special" %}
Edit-fixed.
