Built-in template tags and filters
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This document describes Django's built-in template tags and filters. It is
|
|
recommended that you use the :ref:`automatic documentation
|
|
<template-built-in-reference>`, if available, as this will also include
|
|
documentation for any custom tags or filters installed.
|
|
|
|
.. _ref-templates-builtins-tags:
|
|
|
|
Built-in tag reference
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. highlightlang:: html+django
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: autoescape
|
|
|
|
autoescape
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Control the current auto-escaping behavior. This tag takes either ``on`` or
|
|
``off`` as an argument and that determines whether auto-escaping is in effect
|
|
inside the block.
|
|
|
|
When auto-escaping is in effect, all variable content has HTML escaping applied
|
|
to it before placing the result into the output (but after any filters have
|
|
been applied). This is equivalent to manually applying the ``escape`` filter
|
|
to each variable.
|
|
|
|
The only exceptions are variables that are already marked as "safe" from
|
|
escaping, either by the code that populated the variable, or because it has had
|
|
the ``safe`` or ``escape`` filters applied.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: block
|
|
|
|
block
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Define a block that can be overridden by child templates. See
|
|
:ref:`Template inheritance <template-inheritance>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: comment
|
|
|
|
comment
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Ignore everything between ``{% comment %}`` and ``{% endcomment %}``
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: cycle
|
|
|
|
cycle
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
|
|
Cycle among the given strings or variables each time this tag is encountered.
|
|
|
|
Within a loop, cycles among the given strings each time through the
|
|
loop::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
You can use variables, too. For example, if you have two template variables,
|
|
``rowvalue1`` and ``rowvalue2``, you can cycle between their values like this::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle rowvalue1 rowvalue2 %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
Yes, you can mix variables and strings::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle 'row1' rowvalue2 'row3' %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
In some cases you might want to refer to the next value of a cycle from
|
|
outside of a loop. To do this, just give the ``{% cycle %}`` tag a name, using
|
|
"as", like this::
|
|
|
|
{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors %}
|
|
|
|
From then on, you can insert the current value of the cycle wherever you'd like
|
|
in your template::
|
|
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle rowcolors %}">...</tr>
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle rowcolors %}">...</tr>
|
|
|
|
You can use any number of values in a ``{% cycle %}`` tag, separated by spaces.
|
|
Values enclosed in single (``'``) or double quotes (``"``) are treated as
|
|
string literals, while values without quotes are treated as template variables.
|
|
|
|
For backwards compatibility, the ``{% cycle %}`` tag supports the much inferior
|
|
old syntax from previous Django versions. You shouldn't use this in any new
|
|
projects, but for the sake of the people who are still using it, here's what it
|
|
looks like::
|
|
|
|
{% cycle row1,row2,row3 %}
|
|
|
|
In this syntax, each value gets interpreted as a literal string, and there's no
|
|
way to specify variable values. Or literal commas. Or spaces. Did we mention
|
|
you shouldn't use this syntax in any new projects?
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: debug
|
|
|
|
debug
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Output a whole load of debugging information, including the current context and
|
|
imported modules.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: extends
|
|
|
|
extends
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Signal that this template extends a parent template.
|
|
|
|
This tag can be used in two ways:
|
|
|
|
* ``{% extends "base.html" %}`` (with quotes) uses the literal value
|
|
``"base.html"`` as the name of the parent template to extend.
|
|
|
|
* ``{% extends variable %}`` uses the value of ``variable``. If the variable
|
|
evaluates to a string, Django will use that string as the name of the
|
|
parent template. If the variable evaluates to a ``Template`` object,
|
|
Django will use that object as the parent template.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`template-inheritance` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: filter
|
|
|
|
filter
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Filter the contents of the variable through variable filters.
|
|
|
|
Filters can also be piped through each other, and they can have arguments --
|
|
just like in variable syntax.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
{% filter force_escape|lower %}
|
|
This text will be HTML-escaped, and will appear in all lowercase.
|
|
{% endfilter %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: firstof
|
|
|
|
firstof
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Outputs the first variable passed that is not False. Outputs nothing if all the
|
|
passed variables are False.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 %}
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
{% if var1 %}
|
|
{{ var1 }}
|
|
{% else %}{% if var2 %}
|
|
{{ var2 }}
|
|
{% else %}{% if var3 %}
|
|
{{ var3 }}
|
|
{% endif %}{% endif %}{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
You can also use a literal string as a fallback value in case all
|
|
passed variables are False::
|
|
|
|
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: for
|
|
|
|
for
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Loop over each item in an array. For example, to display a list of athletes
|
|
provided in ``athlete_list``::
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
You can loop over a list in reverse by using ``{% for obj in list reversed %}``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
If you need to loop over a list of lists, you can unpack the values
|
|
in each sub-list into individual variables. For example, if your context
|
|
contains a list of (x,y) coordinates called ``points``, you could use the
|
|
following to output the list of points::
|
|
|
|
{% for x, y in points %}
|
|
There is a point at {{ x }},{{ y }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
This can also be useful if you need to access the items in a dictionary.
|
|
For example, if your context contained a dictionary ``data``, the following
|
|
would display the keys and values of the dictionary::
|
|
|
|
{% for key, value in data.items %}
|
|
{{ key }}: {{ value }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
The for loop sets a number of variables available within the loop:
|
|
|
|
========================== ================================================
|
|
Variable Description
|
|
========================== ================================================
|
|
``forloop.counter`` The current iteration of the loop (1-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.counter0`` The current iteration of the loop (0-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.revcounter`` The number of iterations from the end of the
|
|
loop (1-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.revcounter0`` The number of iterations from the end of the
|
|
loop (0-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.first`` True if this is the first time through the loop
|
|
``forloop.last`` True if this is the last time through the loop
|
|
``forloop.parentloop`` For nested loops, this is the loop "above" the
|
|
current one
|
|
========================== ================================================
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: if
|
|
|
|
if
|
|
~~
|
|
|
|
The ``{% if %}`` tag evaluates a variable, and if that variable is "true" (i.e.
|
|
exists, is not empty, and is not a false boolean value) the contents of the
|
|
block are output::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list %}
|
|
Number of athletes: {{ athlete_list|length }}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
No athletes.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
In the above, if ``athlete_list`` is not empty, the number of athletes will be
|
|
displayed by the ``{{ athlete_list|length }}`` variable.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the ``if`` tag can take an optional ``{% else %}`` clause that
|
|
will be displayed if the test fails.
|
|
|
|
``if`` tags may use ``and``, ``or`` or ``not`` to test a number of variables or
|
|
to negate a given variable::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and coach_list %}
|
|
Both athletes and coaches are available.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if not athlete_list %}
|
|
There are no athletes.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list or coach_list %}
|
|
There are some athletes or some coaches.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if not athlete_list or coach_list %}
|
|
There are no athletes or there are some coaches (OK, so
|
|
writing English translations of boolean logic sounds
|
|
stupid; it's not our fault).
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and not coach_list %}
|
|
There are some athletes and absolutely no coaches.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``if`` tags don't allow ``and`` and ``or`` clauses within the same tag, because
|
|
the order of logic would be ambiguous. For example, this is invalid::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and coach_list or cheerleader_list %}
|
|
|
|
If you need to combine ``and`` and ``or`` to do advanced logic, just use nested
|
|
``if`` tags. For example::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list %}
|
|
{% if coach_list or cheerleader_list %}
|
|
We have athletes, and either coaches or cheerleaders!
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Multiple uses of the same logical operator are fine, as long as you use the
|
|
same operator. For example, this is valid::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list or coach_list or parent_list or teacher_list %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifchanged
|
|
|
|
ifchanged
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Check if a value has changed from the last iteration of a loop.
|
|
|
|
The 'ifchanged' block tag is used within a loop. It has two possible uses.
|
|
|
|
1. Checks its own rendered contents against its previous state and only
|
|
displays the content if it has changed. For example, this displays a list of
|
|
days, only displaying the month if it changes::
|
|
|
|
<h1>Archive for {{ year }}</h1>
|
|
|
|
{% for date in days %}
|
|
{% ifchanged %}<h3>{{ date|date:"F" }}</h3>{% endifchanged %}
|
|
<a href="{{ date|date:"M/d"|lower }}/">{{ date|date:"j" }}</a>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
2. If given a variable, check whether that variable has changed. For
|
|
example, the following shows the date every time it changes, but
|
|
only shows the hour if both the hour and the date has changed::
|
|
|
|
{% for date in days %}
|
|
{% ifchanged date.date %} {{ date.date }} {% endifchanged %}
|
|
{% ifchanged date.hour date.date %}
|
|
{{ date.hour }}
|
|
{% endifchanged %}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifequal
|
|
|
|
ifequal
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Output the contents of the block if the two arguments equal each other.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
{% ifequal user.id comment.user_id %}
|
|
...
|
|
{% endifequal %}
|
|
|
|
As in the ``{% if %}`` tag, an ``{% else %}`` clause is optional.
|
|
|
|
The arguments can be hard-coded strings, so the following is valid::
|
|
|
|
{% ifequal user.username "adrian" %}
|
|
...
|
|
{% endifequal %}
|
|
|
|
It is only possible to compare an argument to template variables or strings.
|
|
You cannot check for equality with Python objects such as ``True`` or
|
|
``False``. If you need to test if something is true or false, use the ``if``
|
|
tag instead.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifnotequal
|
|
|
|
ifnotequal
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Just like ``ifequal``, except it tests that the two arguments are not equal.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: include
|
|
|
|
include
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Loads a template and renders it with the current context. This is a way of
|
|
"including" other templates within a template.
|
|
|
|
The template name can either be a variable or a hard-coded (quoted) string,
|
|
in either single or double quotes.
|
|
|
|
This example includes the contents of the template ``"foo/bar.html"``::
|
|
|
|
{% include "foo/bar.html" %}
|
|
|
|
This example includes the contents of the template whose name is contained in
|
|
the variable ``template_name``::
|
|
|
|
{% include template_name %}
|
|
|
|
An included template is rendered with the context of the template that's
|
|
including it. This example produces the output ``"Hello, John"``:
|
|
|
|
* Context: variable ``person`` is set to ``"john"``.
|
|
* Template::
|
|
|
|
{% include "name_snippet.html" %}
|
|
|
|
* The ``name_snippet.html`` template::
|
|
|
|
Hello, {{ person }}
|
|
|
|
See also: ``{% ssi %}``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: load
|
|
|
|
load
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Load a custom template tag set.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`Custom tag and filter libraries <howto-custom-template-tags>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: now
|
|
|
|

|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Display the date, formatted according to the given string.

|
|
================ ======================================== =====================
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
It is {% now "jS F Y H:i" %}
|
|
|
|
Note that you can backslash-escape a format string if you want to use the
|
|
"raw" value. In this example, "f" is backslash-escaped, because otherwise
|
|
"f" is a format string that displays the time. The "o" doesn't need to be
|
|
escaped, because it's not a format character::
|
|
|
|
It is the {% now "jS o\f F" %}
|
|
|
|
This would display as "It is the 4th of September".
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: regroup
|
|
|
|
regroup
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Regroup a list of alike objects by a common attribute.
|
|
|
|
This complex tag is best illustrated by use of an example: say that ``people``
|
|
is a list of people represented by dictionaries with ``first_name``,
|
|
``last_name``, and ``gender`` keys:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
people = [
|
|
{'first_name': 'George', 'last_name': 'Bush', 'gender': 'Male'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Bill', 'last_name': 'Clinton', 'gender': 'Male'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Margaret', 'last_name': 'Thatcher', 'gender': 'Female'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Condoleezza', 'last_name': 'Rice', 'gender': 'Female'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Pat', 'last_name': 'Smith', 'gender': 'Unknown'},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
...and you'd like to display a hierarchical list that is ordered by gender,
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
* Male:
|
|
* George Bush
|
|
* Bill Clinton
|
|
* Female:
|
|
* Margaret Thatcher
|
|
* Condoleezza Rice
|
|
* Unknown:
|
|
* Pat Smith
|
|
|
|
You can use the ``{% regroup %}`` tag to group the list of people by gender.
|
|
The following snippet of template code would accomplish this::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup people by gender as gender_list %}
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for gender in gender_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ gender.grouper }}
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for item in gender.list %}
|
|
<li>{{ item.first_name }} {{ item.last_name }}</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Let's walk through this example. ``{% regroup %}`` takes three arguments: the
|
|
list you want to regroup, the attribute to group by, and the name of the
|
|
resulting list. Here, we're regrouping the ``people`` list by the ``gender``
|
|
attribute and calling the result ``gender_list``.
|
|
|
|
``{% regroup %}`` produces a list (in this case, ``gender_list``) of
|
|
**group objects**. Each group object has two attributes:
|
|
|
|
* ``grouper`` -- the item that was grouped by (e.g., the string "Male" or
|
|
"Female").
|
|
* ``list`` -- a list of all items in this group (e.g., a list of all people
|
|
with gender='Male').
|
|
|
|
Note that ``{% regroup %}`` does not order its input! Our example relies on
|
|
the fact that the ``people`` list was ordered by ``gender`` in the first place.
|
|
If the ``people`` list did *not* order its members by ``gender``, the regrouping
|
|
would naively display more than one group for a single gender. For example,
|
|
say the ``people`` list was set to this (note that the males are not grouped
|
|
together):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
people = [
|
|
{'first_name': 'Bill', 'last_name': 'Clinton', 'gender': 'Male'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Pat', 'last_name': 'Smith', 'gender': 'Unknown'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Margaret', 'last_name': 'Thatcher', 'gender': 'Female'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'George', 'last_name': 'Bush', 'gender': 'Male'},
|
|
{'first_name': 'Condoleezza', 'last_name': 'Rice', 'gender': 'Female'},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
With this input for ``people``, the example ``{% regroup %}`` template code
|
|
above would result in the following output:
|
|
|
|
* Male:
|
|
* Bill Clinton
|
|
* Unknown:
|
|
* Pat Smith
|
|
* Female:
|
|
* Margaret Thatcher
|
|
* Male:
|
|
* George Bush
|
|
* Female:
|
|
* Condoleezza Rice
|
|
|
|
The easiest solution to this gotcha is to make sure in your view code that the
|
|
data is ordered according to how you want to display it.
|
|
|
|
Another solution is to sort the data in the template using the ``dictsort``
|
|
filter, if your data is in a list of dictionaries::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup people|dictsort:"gender" by gender as gender_list %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: spaceless
|
|
|
|
spaceless
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Removes whitespace between HTML tags. This includes tab
|
|
characters and newlines.
|
|
|
|
Example usage::
|
|
|
|
{% spaceless %}
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="foo/">Foo</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
{% endspaceless %}
|
|
|
|
This example would return this HTML::
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="foo/">Foo</a></p>
|
|
|
|
Only space between *tags* is removed -- not space between tags and text. In
|
|
this example, the space around ``Hello`` won't be stripped::
|
|
|
|
{% spaceless %}
|
|
<strong>
|
|
Hello
|
|
</strong>
|
|
{% endspaceless %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ssi
|
|
|
|
ssi
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Output the contents of a given file into the page.
|
|
|
|
Like a simple "include" tag, ``{% ssi %}`` includes the contents of another
|
|
file -- which must be specified using an absolute path -- in the current
|
|
page::
|
|
|
|
{% ssi /home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html %}
|
|
|
|
If the optional "parsed" parameter is given, the contents of the included
|
|
file are evaluated as template code, within the current context::
|
|
|
|
{% ssi /home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html parsed %}
|
|
|
|
Note that if you use ``{% ssi %}``, you'll need to define
|
|
:setting:`ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS` in your Django settings, as a security measure.
|
|
|
|
See also: ``{% include %}``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: templatetag
|
|
|
|
templatetag
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Output one of the syntax characters used to compose template tags.
|
|
|
|
Since the template system has no concept of "escaping", to display one of the
|
|
bits used in template tags, you must use the ``{% templatetag %}`` tag.
|
|
|
|
The argument tells which template bit to output:
|
|
|

.. templatetag:: url
|
|
|
|
url
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns an absolute URL (i.e., a URL without the domain name) matching a given
|
|
view function and optional parameters. This is a way to output links without
|
|
violating the DRY principle by having to hard-code URLs in your templates::
|
|
|
|
{% url path.to.some_view arg1,arg2,name1=value1 %}
|
|
|
|
The first argument is a path to a view function in the format
|
|
``package.package.module.function``. Additional arguments are optional and
|
|
should be comma-separated values that will be used as positional and keyword
|
|
arguments in the URL. All arguments required by the URLconf should be present.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose you have a view, ``app_views.client``, whose URLconf
|
|
takes a client ID (here, ``client()`` is a method inside the views file
|
|
``app_views.py``). The URLconf line might look like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
('^client/(\d+)/$', 'app_views.client')
|
|
|
|
If this app's URLconf is included into the project's URLconf under a path
|
|
such as this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
('^clients/', include('project_name.app_name.urls'))
|
|
|
|
...then, in a template, you can create a link to this view like this::
|
|
|
|
{% url app_views.client client.id %}
|
|
|
|
The template tag will output the string ``/clients/client/123/``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
If you're using :ref:`named URL patterns <naming-url-patterns>`, you can
|
|
refer to the name of the pattern in the ``url`` tag instead of using the
|
|
path to the view.
|
|
|
|
Note that if the URL you're reversing doesn't exist, you'll get an
|
|
:exc:`NoReverseMatch` exception raised, which will cause your site to display an
|
|
error page.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to retrieve a URL without displaying it, you can use a slightly
|
|
different call::
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% url path.to.view arg, arg2 as the_url %}
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ the_url }}">I'm linking to {{ the_url }}</a>
|
|
|
|
This ``{% url ... as var %}`` syntax will *not* cause an error if the view is
|
|
missing. In practice you'll use this to link to views that are optional::
|
|
|
|
{% url path.to.view as the_url %}
|
|
{% if the_url %}
|
|
<a href="{{ the_url }}">Link to optional stuff</a>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: widthratio
|
|
|
|
widthratio
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
For creating bar charts and such, this tag calculates the ratio of a given value
|
|
to a maximum value, and then applies that ratio to a constant.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
<img src="bar.gif" height="10" width="{% widthratio this_value max_value 100 %}" />
|
|
|
|
Above, if ``this_value`` is 175 and ``max_value`` is 200, the image in the
|
|
above example will be 88 pixels wide (because 175/200 = .875; .875 * 100 = 87.5
|
|
which is rounded up to 88).
|
|

.. templatetag:: with
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Caches a complex variable under a simpler name. This is useful when accessing
|
|
an "expensive" method (e.g., one that hits the database) multiple times.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{% with business.employees.count as total %}
|
|
{{ total }} employee{{ total|pluralize }}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
The populated variable (in the example above, ``total``) is only available
|
|
between the ``{% with %}`` and ``{% endwith %}`` tags.

|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: add
|
|
|
|
add
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Adds the argument to the value.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|add:"2" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``4``, then the output will be ``6``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: addslashes
|
|
|
|
addslashes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Adds slashes before quotes. Useful for escaping strings in CSV, for example.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: capfirst
|
|
|
|
capfirst
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Capitalizes the first character of the value.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: center
|
|
|
|
center
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Centers the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: cut
|
|
|
|
cut
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Removes all values of arg from the given string.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|cut:" "}}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"String with spaces"``, the output will be ``"Stringwithspaces"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: date
|
|
|
|
date
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Formats a date according to the given format (same as the `now`_ tag).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|date:"D d M Y" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is a ``datetime`` object (e.g., the result of
|
|
``datetime.datetime.now()``), the output will be the string
|
|
``'Wed 09 Jan 2008'``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: default
|
|
|
|
default
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If value evaluates to ``False``, use given default. Otherwise, use the value.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|default:"nothing" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``""`` (the empty string), the output will be ``nothing``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: default_if_none
|
|
|
|
default_if_none
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If (and only if) value is ``None``, use given default. Otherwise, use the
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
Note that if an empty string is given, the default value will *not* be used.
|
|
Use the ``default`` filter if you want to fallback for empty strings.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|default_if_none:"nothing" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``None``, the output will be the string ``"nothing"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: dictsort
|
|
|
|
dictsort
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Takes a list of dictionaries and returns that list sorted by the key given in
|
|
the argument.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|dictsort:"name" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
{'name': 'zed', 'age': 19},
|
|
{'name': 'amy', 'age': 22},
|
|
{'name': 'joe', 'age': 31},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
then the output would be:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
{'name': 'amy', 'age': 22},
|
|
{'name': 'joe', 'age': 31},
|
|
{'name': 'zed', 'age': 19},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: dictsortreversed
|
|
|
|
dictsortreversed
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Takes a list of dictionaries and returns that list sorted in reverse order by
|
|
the key given in the argument. This works exactly the same as the above filter,
|
|
but the returned value will be in reverse order.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: divisibleby
|
|
|
|
divisibleby
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the value is divisible by the argument.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|divisibleby:"3" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``21``, the output would be ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: escape
|
|
|
|
escape
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Escapes a string's HTML. Specifically, it makes these replacements:
|
|
|
|
* ``<`` is converted to ``<``
|
|
* ``>`` is converted to ``>``
|
|
* ``'`` (single quote) is converted to ``'``
|
|
* ``"`` (double quote) is converted to ``"``
|
|
* ``&`` is converted to ``&``
|
|
|
|
The escaping is only applied when the string is output, so it does not matter
|
|
where in a chained sequence of filters you put ``escape``: it will always be
|
|
applied as though it were the last filter. If you want escaping to be applied
|
|
immediately, use the ``force_escape`` filter.
|
|
|
|
Applying ``escape`` to a variable that would normally have auto-escaping
|
|
applied to the result will only result in one round of escaping being done. So
|
|
it is safe to use this function even in auto-escaping environments. If you want
|
|
multiple escaping passes to be applied, use the ``force_escape`` filter.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
|
|
Due to auto-escaping, the behavior of this filter has changed slightly.
|
|
The replacements are only made once, after
|
|
all other filters are applied -- including filters before and after it.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: escapejs
|
|
|
|
escapejs
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Escapes characters for use in JavaScript strings. This does *not* make the
|
|
string safe for use in HTML, but does protect you from syntax errors when using
|
|
templates to generate JavaScript/JSON.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: filesizeformat
|
|
|
|
filesizeformat
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Format the value like a 'human-readable' file size (i.e. ``'13 KB'``,
|
|
``'4.1 MB'``, ``'102 bytes'``, etc).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|filesizeformat }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is 123456789, the output would be ``117.7 MB``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: first
|
|
|
|
first
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns the first item in a list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|first }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be ``'a'``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: fix_ampersands
|
|
|
|
fix_ampersands
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
|
|
This is rarely useful as ampersands are now automatically escaped. See escape_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Replaces ampersands with ``&`` entities.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|fix_ampersands }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Tom & Jerry``, the output will be ``Tom & Jerry``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: floatformat
|
|
|
|
floatformat
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When used without an argument, rounds a floating-point number to one decimal
|
|
place -- but only if there's a decimal part to be displayed. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34.2``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34.3``
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
|
|
If used with a numeric integer argument, ``floatformat`` rounds a number to
|
|
that many decimal places. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.232``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.000``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.260``
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
|
|
If the argument passed to ``floatformat`` is negative, it will round a number
|
|
to that many decimal places -- but only if there's a decimal part to be
|
|
displayed. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34.232``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34.260``
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
|
|
Using ``floatformat`` with no argument is equivalent to using ``floatformat``
|
|
with an argument of ``-1``.

.. templatefilter:: force_escape
|
|
|
|
force_escape
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Applies HTML escaping to a string (see the ``escape`` filter for details).
|
|
This filter is applied *immediately* and returns a new, escaped string. This
|
|
is useful in the rare cases where you need multiple escaping or want to apply
|
|
other filters to the escaped results. Normally, you want to use the ``escape``
|
|
filter.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: get_digit
|
|
|
|
get_digit
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Given a whole number, returns the requested digit, where 1 is the right-most
|
|
digit, 2 is the second-right-most digit, etc. Returns the original value for
|
|
invalid input (if input or argument is not an integer, or if argument is less
|
|
than 1). Otherwise, output is always an integer.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|get_digit:"2" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``123456789``, the output will be ``8``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: iriendcode
|
|
|
|
iriencode
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts an IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifier) to a string that is
|
|
suitable for including in a URL. This is necessary if you're trying to use
|
|
strings containing non-ASCII characters in a URL.
|
|
|
|
It's safe to use this filter on a string that has already gone through the
|
|
``urlencode`` filter.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: join
|
|
|
|
join
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Joins a list with a string, like Python's ``str.join(list)``
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|join:" // " }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be the string
|
|
``"a // b // c"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: last
|
|
|
|
last
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Returns the last item in a list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|last }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be the string
|
|
``"d"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: length
|
|
|
|
length
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns the length of the value. This works for both strings and lists.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|length }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be ``4``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: length_is
|
|
|
|
length_is
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the value's length is the argument, or ``False`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|length_is:"4" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linebreaks
|
|
|
|
linebreaks
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Replaces line breaks in plain text with appropriate HTML; a single
|
|
newline becomes an HTML line break (``<br />``) and a new line
|
|
followed by a blank line becomes a paragraph break (``</p>``).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|linebreaks }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Joel\nis a slug``, the output will be ``<p>Joel<br>is a
|
|
slug</p>``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linebreaksbr
|
|
|
|
linebreaksbr
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts all newlines in a piece of plain text to HTML line breaks
|
|
(``<br />``).
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linenumbers
|
|
|
|
linenumbers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Displays text with line numbers.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: ljust
|
|
|
|
ljust
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Left-aligns the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** field size
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: lower
|
|
|
|
lower
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into all lowercase.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|lower }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Still MAD At Yoko``, the output will be ``still mad at yoko``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: make_list
|
|
|
|
make_list
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns the value turned into a list. For an integer, it's a list of
|
|
digits. For a string, it's a list of characters.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|make_list }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the string ``"Joel"``, the output would be the list
|
|
``[u'J', u'o', u'e', u'l']``. If ``value`` is ``123``, the output will be the
|
|
list ``[1, 2, 3]``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: phone2numeric
|
|
|
|
phone2numeric
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts a phone number (possibly containing letters) to its numerical
|
|
equivalent. For example, ``'800-COLLECT'`` will be converted to
|
|
``'800-2655328'``.
|
|
|
|
The input doesn't have to be a valid phone number. This will happily convert
|
|
any string.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: pluralize
|
|
|
|
pluralize
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns a plural suffix if the value is not 1. By default, this suffix is ``'s'``.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_messages }} message{{ num_messages|pluralize }}.
|
|
|
|
For words that require a suffix other than ``'s'``, you can provide an alternate
|
|
suffix as a parameter to the filter.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_walruses }} walrus{{ num_walrus|pluralize:"es" }}.
|
|
|
|
For words that don't pluralize by simple suffix, you can specify both a
|
|
singular and plural suffix, separated by a comma.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_cherries }} cherr{{ num_cherries|pluralize:"y,ies" }}.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: pprint
|
|
|
|
pprint
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A wrapper around `pprint.pprint`__ -- for debugging, really.
|
|
|
|
__ http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/module-pprint.html
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: random
|
|
|
|
random
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns a random item from the given list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|random }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output could be ``"b"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: removetags
|
|
|
|
removetags
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Removes a space-separated list of [X]HTML tags from the output.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|removetags:"b span"|safe }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
output will be ``"Joel <button>is</button> a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: rjust
|
|
|
|
rjust
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Right-aligns the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** field size
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: safe
|
|
|
|
safe
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Marks a string as not requiring further HTML escaping prior to output. When
|
|
autoescaping is off, this filter has no effect.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: slice
|
|
|
|
slice
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns a slice of the list.
|
|
|
|
Uses the same syntax as Python's list slicing. See
|
|
http://diveintopython.org/native_data_types/lists.html#odbchelper.list.slice
|
|
for an introduction.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
{{ some_list|slice:":2" }}
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: slugify
|
|
|
|
slugify
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts to lowercase, removes non-word characters (alphanumerics and
|
|
underscores) and converts spaces to hyphens. Also strips leading and trailing
|
|
whitespace.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|slugify }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"joel-is-a-slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: stringformat
|
|
|
|
stringformat
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Formats the variable according to the argument, a string formatting specifier.
|
|
This specifier uses Python string formatting syntax, with the exception that
|
|
the leading "%" is dropped.
|
|
|
|
See http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html for documentation of
|
|
Python string formatting
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|stringformat:"s" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: striptags
|
|
|
|
striptags
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Strips all [X]HTML tags.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|striptags }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"``, the
|
|
output will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: time
|
|
|
|
time
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Formats a time according to the given format (same as the `now`_ tag).
|
|
The time filter will only accept parameters in the format string that relate
|
|
to the time of day, not the date (for obvious reasons). If you need to
|
|
format a date, use the `date`_ filter.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|time:"H:i" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is equivalent to ``datetime.datetime.now()``, the output will be
|
|
the string ``"01:23"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: timesince
|
|
|
|
timesince
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Formats a date as the time since that date (e.g., "4 days, 6 hours").
|
|
|
|
Takes an optional argument that is a variable containing the date to use as
|
|
the comparison point (without the argument, the comparison point is *now*).
|
|
For example, if ``blog_date`` is a date instance representing midnight on 1
|
|
June 2006, and ``comment_date`` is a date instance for 08:00 on 1 June 2006,
|
|
then ``{{ blog_date|timesince:comment_date }}`` would return "8 hours".
|
|
|
|
Comparing offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes will return an empty string.
|
|
|
|
Minutes is the smallest unit used, and "0 minutes" will be returned for any
|
|
date that is in the future relative to the comparison point.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: timeuntil
|
|
|
|
timeuntil
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``timesince``, except that it measures the time from now until the
|
|
given date or datetime. For example, if today is 1 June 2006 and
|
|
``conference_date`` is a date instance holding 29 June 2006, then
|
|
``{{ conference_date|timeuntil }}`` will return "4 weeks".
|
|
|
|
Takes an optional argument that is a variable containing the date to use as
|
|
the comparison point (instead of *now*). If ``from_date`` contains 22 June
|
|
2006, then ``{{ conference_date|timeuntil:from_date }}`` will return "1 week".
|
|
|
|
Comparing offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes will return an empty string.
|
|
|
|
Minutes is the smallest unit used, and "0 minutes" will be returned for any
|
|
date that is in the past relative to the comparison point.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: title
|
|
|
|
title
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into titlecase.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: truncatewords
|
|
|
|
truncatewords
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Truncates a string after a certain number of words.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** Number of words to truncate after
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|truncatewords:2 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"Joel is ..."``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: truncatewords_html
|
|
|
|
truncatewords_html
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``truncatewords``, except that it is aware of HTML tags. Any tags
|
|
that are opened in the string and not closed before the truncation point, are
|
|
closed immediately after the truncation.
|
|
|
|
This is less efficient than ``truncatewords``, so should only be used when it
|
|
is being passed HTML text.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: unordered_list
|
|
|
|
unordered_list
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Recursively takes a self-nested list and returns an HTML unordered list --
|
|
WITHOUT opening and closing <ul> tags.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
|
|
The format accepted by ``unordered_list`` has changed to be easier to understand.
|
|
|
|
The list is assumed to be in the proper format. For example, if ``var`` contains
|
|
``['States', ['Kansas', ['Lawrence', 'Topeka'], 'Illinois']]``, then
|
|
``{{ var|unordered_list }}`` would return::
|
|
|
|
<li>States
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Kansas
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Lawrence</li>
|
|
<li>Topeka</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Illinois</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
Note: the previous more restrictive and verbose format is still supported:
|
|
``['States', [['Kansas', [['Lawrence', []], ['Topeka', []]]], ['Illinois', []]]]``,
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: upper
|
|
|
|
upper
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into all uppercase.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|upper }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"JOEL IS A SLUG"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlencode
|
|
|
|
urlencode
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Escapes a value for use in a URL.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlize
|
|
|
|
urlize
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts URLs in plain text into clickable links.
|
|
|
|
Note that if ``urlize`` is applied to text that already contains HTML markup,
|
|
things won't work as expected. Apply this filter only to *plain* text.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlize }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Check out www.djangoproject.com"``, the output will be
|
|
``"Check out <a
|
|
href="http://www.djangoproject.com">www.djangoproject.com</a>"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlizetrunc
|
|
|
|
urlizetrunc
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Converts URLs into clickable links, truncating URLs longer than the given
|
|
character limit.
|
|
|
|
As with urlize_, this filter should only be applied to *plain* text.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** Length to truncate URLs to
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlizetrunc:15 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Check out www.djangoproject.com"``, the output would be
|
|
``'Check out <a
|
|
href="http://www.djangoproject.com">www.djangopr...</a>'``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: wordcount
|
|
|
|
wordcount
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of words.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: wordwrap
|
|
|
|
wordwrap
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Wraps words at specified line length.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** number of characters at which to wrap the text
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|wordwrap:5 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Joel is a slug``, the output would be::
|
|
|
|
Joel
|
|
is a
|
|
slug
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: yesno
|
|
|
|
yesno
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Given a string mapping values for true, false and (optionally) None,
|
|
returns one of those strings according to the value:
|
|
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
Value Argument Outputs
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
``True`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``yeah``
|
|
``False`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``no``
|
|
``None`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``maybe``
|
|
``None`` ``"yeah,no"`` ``"no"`` (converts None to False
|
|
if no mapping for None is given)
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
|
|
Other tags and filter libraries
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Django comes with a couple of other template-tag libraries that you have to
|
|
enable explicitly in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting and enable in your
|
|
template with the ``{% load %}`` tag.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.humanize
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
A set of Django template filters useful for adding a "human touch" to data. See
|
|
:ref:`ref-contrib-humanize`.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.markup
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
A collection of template filters that implement these common markup languages:
|
|
|
|
* Textile
|
|
* Markdown
|
|
* ReST (ReStructured Text)
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`ref-contrib-markup`.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.webdesign
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
A collection of template tags that can be useful while designing a website,
|
|
such as a generator of Lorem Ipsum text. See :ref:`ref-contrib-webdesign`.
|
