==================================
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. The block is closed with an ``endautoescape`` ending tag.
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.
Sample usage::
{% autoescape on %}
{{ body }}
{% endautoescape %}
.. 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:: csrf_token
csrf_token
~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 1.1.2
In the Django 1.1.X series, this is a no-op tag that returns an empty string for
future compatibility purposes. In Django 1.2 and later, it is used for CSRF
protection, as described in the documentation for :doc:`Cross Site Request
Forgeries </ref/contrib/csrf>`.
.. 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.
Note that the variables included in the cycle will not be escaped.
This is because template tags do not escape their content. Any HTML or
Javascript code contained in the printed variable will be rendered
as-is, which could potentially lead to security issues.
If you need to escape the variables in the cycle, you must do so
explicitly::
{% filter force_escape %}
{% cycle var1 var2 var3 %}
{% endfilter %}
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, without escaping.
Outputs nothing if all the passed variables are False.
Sample usage::
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 %}
This is equivalent to::
{% if var1 %}
{{ var1|safe }}
{% else %}{% if var2 %}
{{ var2|safe }}
{% else %}{% if var3 %}
{{ var3|safe }}
{% 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" %}
Note that the variables included in the firstof tag will not be
escaped. This is because template tags do not escape their content.
Any HTML or Javascript code contained in the printed variable will be
rendered as-is, which could potentially lead to security issues.
If you need to escape the variables in the firstof tag, you must do so
explicitly::
{% filter force_escape %}
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %}
{% endfilter %}
.. 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
========================== ================================================
for ... empty
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1
The ``for`` tag can take an optional ``{% empty %}`` clause that will be
displayed if the given array is empty or could not be found::
<ul>
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
{% empty %}
<li>Sorry, no athlete in this list!</li>
{% endfor %}
<ul>
The above is equivalent to -- but shorter, cleaner, and possibly faster
than -- the following::
<ul>
{% if athlete_list %}
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<li>Sorry, no athletes in this list.</li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
.. 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.
Boolean operators
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``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 %}
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
Use of both ``and`` and ``or`` clauses within the same tag is allowed, with
``and`` having higher precedence than ``or`` e.g.::
{% if athlete_list and coach_list or cheerleader_list %}
will be interpreted like:
.. code-block:: python
if (athlete_list and coach_list) or cheerleader_list
Use of actual brackets in the ``if`` tag is invalid syntax. If you need them to
indicate precedence, you should use nested ``if`` tags.
.. versionadded:: 1.2
``if`` tags may also use the operators ``==``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``,
``<=``, ``>=`` and ``in`` which work as follows:
``==`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Equality. Example::
{% if somevar == "x" %}
This appears if variable somevar equals the string "x"
{% endif %}
``!=`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Inequality. Example::
{% if somevar != "x" %}
This appears if variable somevar does not equal the string "x",
or if somevar is not found in the context
{% endif %}
``<`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Less than. Example::
{% if somevar < 100 %}
This appears if variable somevar is less than 100.
{% endif %}
``>`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Greater than. Example::
{% if somevar > 0 %}
This appears if variable somevar is greater than 0.
{% endif %}
``<=`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Less than or equal to. Example::
{% if somevar <= 100 %}
This appears if variable somevar is less than 100 or equal to 100.
{% endif %}
``>=`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Greater than or equal to. Example::
{% if somevar >= 1 %}
This appears if variable somevar is greater than 1 or equal to 1.
{% endif %}
``in`` operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Contained within. This operator is supported by many Python containers to test
whether the given value is in the container. The following are some examples of
how ``x in y`` will be interpreted::
{% if "bc" in "abcdef" %}
This appears since "bc" is a substring of "abcdef"
{% endif %}
{% if "hello" in greetings %}
If greetings is a list or set, one element of which is the string
"hello", this will appear.
{% endif %}
{% if user in users %}
If users is a QuerySet, this will appear if user is an
instance that belongs to the QuerySet.
{% endif %}
``not in`` operator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not contained within. This is the negation of the ``in`` operator.
The comparison operators cannot be 'chained' like in Python or in mathematical
notation. For example, instead of using::
{% if a > b > c %} (WRONG)
you should use::
{% if a > b and b > c %}
Filters
^^^^^^^
You can also use filters in the ``if`` expression. For example::
{% if messages|length >= 100 %}
You have lots of messages today!
{% endif %}
Complex expressions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All of the above can be combined to form complex expressions. For such
expressions, it can be important to know how the operators are grouped when the
expression is evaluated - that is, the precedence rules. The precedence of the
operators, from lowest to highest, is as follows:
* ``or``
* ``and``
* ``not``
* ``in``
* ``==``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``,``<=``, ``>=``
(This follows Python exactly). So, for example, the following complex if tag:
{% if a == b or c == d and e %}
...will be interpreted as:
.. code-block:: python
(a == b) or ((c == d) and e)
If you need different precedence, you will need to use nested if tags. Sometimes
that is better for clarity anyway, for the sake of those who do not know the
precedence rules.
.. 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 %}
The ``ifchanged`` tag can also take an optional ``{% else %}`` clause that
will be displayed if the value has not changed::
{% for match in matches %}
<div style="background-color:
{% ifchanged match.ballot_id %}
{% cycle "red" "blue" %}
{% else %}
grey
{% endifchanged %}
">{{ match }}</div>
{% 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.
.. versionadded:: 1.2
An alternative to the ``ifequal`` tag is to use the :ttag:`if` tag and the ``==`` operator.
.. templatetag:: ifnotequal
ifnotequal
~~~~~~~~~~
Just like ``ifequal``, except it tests that the two arguments are not equal.
.. versionadded:: 1.2
An alternative to the ``ifnotequal`` tag is to use the :ttag:`if` tag and the ``!=`` operator.
.. 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 %}``.
.. note::
The :ttag:`include` tag should be considered as an implementation of
"render this subtemplate and include the HTML", not as "parse this
subtemplate and include its contents as if it were part of the parent".
This means that there is no shared state between included templates --
each include is a completely independent rendering process.
.. templatetag:: load
load
~~~~
Load a custom template tag set.
See :doc:`Custom tag and filter libraries </howto/custom-template-tags>` for more information.
.. templatetag:: now
now
~~~
Display the date, formatted according to the given string.
Uses the same format as PHP's ``date()`` function (http://php.net/date)
with some custom extensions.
Available format strings:
================ ======================================== =====================
Format character Description Example output
================ ======================================== =====================
a ``'a.m.'`` or ``'p.m.'`` (Note that ``'a.m.'``
this is slightly different than PHP's
output, because this includes periods
to match Associated Press style.)
A ``'AM'`` or ``'PM'``. ``'AM'``
b Month, textual, 3 letters, lowercase. ``'jan'``
B Not implemented.
c ISO 8601 Format. ``2008-01-02T10:30:00.000123``
d Day of the month, 2 digits with ``'01'`` to ``'31'``
leading zeros.
D Day of the week, textual, 3 letters. ``'Fri'``
f Time, in 12-hour hours and minutes, ``'1'``, ``'1:30'``
with minutes left off if they're zero.
Proprietary extension.
F Month, textual, long. ``'January'``
g Hour, 12-hour format without leading ``'1'`` to ``'12'``
zeros.
G Hour, 24-hour format without leading ``'0'`` to ``'23'``
zeros.
h Hour, 12-hour format. ``'01'`` to ``'12'``
H Hour, 24-hour format. ``'00'`` to ``'23'``
i Minutes. ``'00'`` to ``'59'``
I Not implemented.
j Day of the month without leading ``'1'`` to ``'31'``
zeros.
l Day of the week, textual, long. ``'Friday'``
L Boolean for whether it's a leap year. ``True`` or ``False``
m Month, 2 digits with leading zeros. ``'01'`` to ``'12'``
M Month, textual, 3 letters. ``'Jan'``
n Month without leading zeros. ``'1'`` to ``'12'``
N Month abbreviation in Associated Press ``'Jan.'``, ``'Feb.'``, ``'March'``, ``'May'``
style. Proprietary extension.
O Difference to Greenwich time in hours. ``'+0200'``
P Time, in 12-hour hours, minutes and ``'1 a.m.'``, ``'1:30 p.m.'``, ``'midnight'``, ``'noon'``, ``'12:30 p.m.'``
'a.m.'/'p.m.', with minutes left off
if they're zero and the special-case
strings 'midnight' and 'noon' if
appropriate. Proprietary extension.
r RFC 2822 formatted date. ``'Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200'``
s Seconds, 2 digits with leading zeros. ``'00'`` to ``'59'``
S English ordinal suffix for day of the ``'st'``, ``'nd'``, ``'rd'`` or ``'th'``
month, 2 characters.
t Number of days in the given month. ``28`` to ``31``
T Time zone of this machine. ``'EST'``, ``'MDT'``
u Microseconds. ``0`` to ``999999``
U Seconds since the Unix Epoch
(January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC).
w Day of the week, digits without ``'0'`` (Sunday) to ``'6'`` (Saturday)
leading zeros.
W ISO-8601 week number of year, with ``1``, ``53``
weeks starting on Monday.
y Year, 2 digits. ``'99'``
Y Year, 4 digits. ``'1999'``
z Day of the year. ``0`` to ``365``
Z Time zone offset in seconds. The ``-43200`` to ``43200``
offset for timezones west of UTC is
always negative, and for those east of
UTC is always positive.
================ ======================================== =====================
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".
.. versionadded:: 1.2
The ``c`` and ``u`` format specification characters were added in Django 1.2.
.. 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:
================== =======
Argument Outputs
================== =======
``openblock`` ``{%``
``closeblock`` ``%}``
``openvariable`` ``{{``
``closevariable`` ``}}``
``openbrace`` ``{``
``closebrace`` ``}``
``opencomment`` ``{#``
``closecomment`` ``#}``
================== =======
.. 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 v1 v2 %}
The first argument is a path to a view function in the format
``package.package.module.function``. Additional arguments are optional and
should be space-separated values that will be used as arguments in the URL.
The example above shows passing positional arguments. Alternatively you may
use keyword syntax::
{% url path.to.some_view arg1=v1 arg2=v2 %}
Do not mix both positional and keyword syntax in a single call. 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 %}
.. versionadded:: 1.1
If you'd like to retrieve a namespaced URL, specify the fully qualified name::
{% url myapp:view-name %}
This will follow the normal :ref:`namespaced URL resolution strategy
<topics-http-reversing-url-namespaces>`, including using any hints provided
by the context as to the current application.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
For backwards compatibility, the ``{% url %}`` tag also supports the
use of commas to separate arguments. 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::
{% url path.to.view arg,arg2 %}
{% url path.to.view arg, arg2 %}
This syntax doesn't support the use of literal commas, or or equals
signs. Did we mention you shouldn't use this syntax in any new
projects?
.. 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.
.. _ref-templates-builtins-filters:
Built-in filter reference
-------------------------
.. templatefilter:: add
add
~~~
Adds the argument to the value.
For example::
{{ value|add:"2" }}
If ``value`` is ``4``, then the output will be ``6``.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
The following behavior didn't exist in previous Django versions.
This filter will first try to coerce both values to integers. If this fails,
it'll attempt to add the values together anyway. This will work on some data
types (strings, list, etc.) and fail on others. If it fails, the result will
be an empty string.
For example, if we have::
{{ first|add:second }}
and ``first`` is ``[1, 2, 3]`` and ``second`` is ``[4, 5, 6]``, then the
output will be ``[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]``.
.. warning::
Keep in mind that strings that can both be coerced to integers will be,
and thus will be will be *summed*, not concatenated, as in the first
example above.
.. templatefilter:: addslashes
addslashes
~~~~~~~~~~
Adds slashes before quotes. Useful for escaping strings in CSV, for example.
For example::
{{ value|addslashes }}
If ``value`` is ``"I'm using Django"``, the output will be ``"I\'m using Django"``.
.. templatefilter:: capfirst
capfirst
~~~~~~~~
Capitalizes the first character of the value.
For example::
{{ value|capfirst }}
If ``value`` is ``"django"``, the output will be ``"Django"``.
.. templatefilter:: center
center
~~~~~~
Centers the value in a field of a given width.
For example::
"{{ value|center:"15" }}"
If ``value`` is ``"Django"``, the output will be ``" Django "``.
.. 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.
Given format can be one of the predefined ones ``DATE_FORMAT``,
``DATETIME_FORMAT``, ``SHORT_DATE_FORMAT`` or ``SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT``,
or a custom format, same as the :ttag:`now` tag. Note that predefined formats
may vary depending on the current locale.
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'``.
Another example:
Assuming that :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True`` and :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE` is,
for example, ``"es"``, then for::
{{ value|date:"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT" }}
the output will be the string ``"09/01/2008"`` (The ``"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT"``
format specifier for the ``es`` locale as shipped with Django is ``"d/m/Y"``).
When used without a format string::
{{ value|date }}
...the formatting string defined in the :setting:`DATE_FORMAT` setting will be
used, without applying any localization.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
Predefined formats can now be influenced by the current locale.
.. 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.
For example::
{{ value|escapejs }}
If ``value`` is ``"testing\r\njavascript \'string" <b>escaping</b>"``,
the output will be ``"testing\\u000D\\u000Ajavascript \\u0027string\\u0022 \\u003Cb\\u003Eescaping\\u003C/b\\u003E"``.
.. 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:: iriencode
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.
For example::
{{ value|iriencode }}
If ``value`` is ``"?test=1&me=2"``, the output will be ``"?test=1&me=2"``.
.. 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 />``).
For example::
{{ value|linebreaksbr }}
If ``value`` is ``Joel\nis a slug``, the output will be ``Joel<br />is a
slug``.
.. templatefilter:: linenumbers
linenumbers
~~~~~~~~~~~
Displays text with line numbers.
For example::
{{ value|linenumbers }}
If ``value`` is::
one
two
three
the output will be::
1. one
2. two
3. three
.. templatefilter:: ljust
ljust
~~~~~
Left-aligns the value in a field of a given width.
**Argument:** field size
For example::
"{{ value|ljust:"10" }}"
If ``value`` is ``Django``, the output will be ``"Django "``.
.. 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.
The input doesn't have to be a valid phone number. This will happily convert
any string.
For example::
{{ value|phone2numeric }}
If ``value`` is ``800-COLLECT``, the output will be ``800-2655328``.
.. 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 }}.
If ``num_messages`` is ``1``, the output will be ``You have 1 message.``
If ``num_messages`` is ``2`` the output will be ``You have 2 messages.``
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_walruses|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://docs.python.org/library/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
For example::
"{{ value|rjust:"10" }}"
If ``value`` is ``Django``, the output will be ``" Django"``.
.. templatefilter:: safe
safe
~~~~
Marks a string as not requiring further HTML escaping prior to output. When
autoescaping is off, this filter has no effect.
.. note::
If you are chaining filters, a filter applied after ``safe`` can
make the contents unsafe again. For example, the following code
prints the variable as is, unescaped:
.. code-block:: html+django
{{ var|safe|escape }}
.. templatefilter:: safeseq
safeseq
~~~~~~~
Applies the :tfilter:`safe` filter to each element of a sequence. Useful in
conjunction with other filters that operate on sequences, such as
:tfilter:`join`. For example::
{{ some_list|safeseq|join:", " }}
You couldn't use the :tfilter:`safe` filter directly in this case, as it would
first convert the variable into a string, rather than working with the
individual elements of the sequence.
.. 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" }}
If ``some_list`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be ``['a', 'b']``.
.. 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/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations
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.
Given format can be the predefined one ``TIME_FORMAT``, or a custom format,
same as the :ttag:`now` tag. Note that the predefined format is locale-
dependant.
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 :tfilter:`date` filter.
For example::
{{ value|time:"H:i" }}
If ``value`` is equivalent to ``datetime.datetime.now()``, the output will be
the string ``"01:23"``.
Another example:
Assuming that :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True`` and :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE` is,
for example, ``"de"``, then for::
{{ value|time:"TIME_FORMAT" }}
the output will be the string ``"01:23:00"`` (The ``"TIME_FORMAT"`` format
specifier for the ``de`` locale as shipped with Django is ``"H:i:s"``).
When used without a format string::
{{ value|time }}
...the formatting string defined in the :setting:`TIME_FORMAT` setting will be
used, without applying any localization.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
Predefined formats can now be influenced by the current locale.
.. 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.
For example::
{{ value|title }}
If ``value`` is ``"my first post"``, the output will be ``"My First Post"``.
.. 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 ..."``.
Newlines within the string will be removed.
.. 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.
For example::
{{ value|truncatewords_html:2 }}
If ``value`` is ``"<p>Joel is a slug</p>"``, the output will be
``"<p>Joel is ...</p>"``.
Newlines in the HTML content will be preserved.
.. 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.
For example::
{{ value|urlencode }}
If ``value`` is ``"http://www.example.org/foo?a=b&c=d"``, the output will be
``"http%3A//www.example.org/foo%3Fa%3Db%26c%3Dd"``.
.. 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.
For example::
{{ value|wordcount }}
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``4``.
.. 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
:doc:`/ref/contrib/humanize`.
django.contrib.markup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A collection of template filters that implement these common markup languages:
* Textile
* Markdown
* ReST (ReStructured Text)
See the :doc:`markup documentation </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 :doc:`/ref/contrib/webdesign`.
i18n
~~~~
Provides a couple of templatetags that allow specifying translatable text in
Django templates. It is slightly different from the libraries described
above because you don't need to add any application to the ``INSTALLED_APPS``
setting but rather set :setting:`USE_I18N` to True, then loading it with
``{% load i18n %}``. See :ref:`specifying-translation-strings-in-template-code`.
