Django Design Patterns and Best Practices - Second Edition

Tags

Programming languages can do more than just display variables. Django's template language has many familiar syntactic forms, such as if and for. They should be written in the tag syntax such as {% if %}. Several template-specific forms, such as include and block, are also written in the tag syntax.

In Python shell:

>>> if 1==1:
...     print(" Date is {0} ".format(time.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")))
 Date is 30-05-2018

The following is its corresponding Django template form:

    {% if 1 == 1 %} Date is {% now 'd-m-Y' %} {% endif %}
