Django1.3 模板标签和过滤器

autoescape

控制HTML转义，参数是：on 或 off。效果和使用safe或escape过滤器相同。

{% autoescape on %} {{ body }} {% endautoescape %}

block

定义一个能被子模板覆盖的区块。

comment

模板引擎会忽略掉 {% comment %} 和 {% endcomment %} 之间的所有内容

csrf_token

防止跨站请求伪造。

<form action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %}

cycle

每次遇到此标签轮流使用给出的字符串或变量的值。

在一个循环内，轮流使用给定的字符串列表的元素：

{% for o in some_list %} <tr class="{% cycle ‘row1‘ ‘row2‘ %}"> ... </tr> {% endfor %}

你也可以使用变量：

{% for o in some_list %} <tr class="{% cycle rowvalue1 rowvalue2 %}"> ... </tr> {% endfor %}

注意到变量的值是没有自动转义的，所以要加上显式转义：

{% for o in some_list %} <tr class="{% filter force_escape %}{% cycle rowvalue1 rowvalue2 %}{% endfilter %}"> ... </tr> {% endfor %}

你可以混合字符串和变量:

{% for o in some_list %} <tr class="{% cycle ‘row1‘ rowvalue2 ‘row3‘ %}"> ... </tr> {% endfor %}

在循环外，在你第一次调用时，给这些字符串定义一个不重复的名字，以后每次只需要使用这个名字就行了：

{% cycle ‘row1‘ ‘row2‘ as rowcolors %}

例：

<tr> <td class="{% cycle ‘row1‘ ‘row2‘ as rowcolors %}">...</td> <td class="{{ rowcolors }}">...</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="{% cycle rowcolors %}">...</td> <td class="{{ rowcolors }}">...</td> </tr>

输出:

<tr> <td class="row1">...</td> <td class="row1">...</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="row2">...</td> <td class="row2">...</td> </tr>

旧版本是这么写的:

{% cycle row1,row2,row3 %}

如果你只是想声明这个循环，而不是输出循环的值，那么在标签的最后增加关键字silent。例：

{% for obj in some_list %} {% cycle ‘row1‘ ‘row2‘ as rowcolors silent %} <tr class="{{ rowcolors }}">{% include "subtemplate.html " %}</tr> {% endfor %}

一旦你在cycle定义中使用了关键字silent，随后的cycle标签也会自动使用silent。下面的例子什么也不会输出，即使第二次cycle没有指定silent。

{% cycle ‘row1‘ ‘row2‘ as rowcolors silent %} {% cycle rowcolors %}

debug

输出完整的调试信息，包括当前的上下文及导入的模块信息。

extends

标记当前模板扩展一个父模板。

这个标签有两种用法:

• {% extends "base.html" %} (带引号) 直接使用要扩展的父模板的名字 "base.html" .
• {% extends variable %} 用变量 variable 的值来指定父模板。如果变量是一个字符串，Django会把字符串的值当作父模板的文件名。如果变量是一个Template对象，Django会把这个对象当作父模板。

filter

通过可变过滤器过滤变量的内容。

过滤器也可以相互传输，它们也可以有参数，就像变量的语法一样。

例:

{% filter force_escape|lower %} This text will be HTML-escaped, and will appear in all lowercase. {% endfilter %}

firstof

输出传入的第一个不是False的变量，如果被传递变量都是False，则什么也不输出。例：

{% firstof var1 var2 var3 %}

等价于:

{% if var1 %} {{ var1|safe }} {% else %}{% if var2 %} {{ var2|safe }} {% else %}{% if var3 %} {{ var3|safe }} {% endif %}{% endif %}{% endif %}

{% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %}

{% filter force_escape %} {% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %} {% endfilter %}

for

轮询数组中的每一元素。例如显示一个指定的运动员的序列 athlete_list ：

<ul> {% for athlete in athlete_list %} <li>{{ athlete.name }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul>

你也可以逆向遍历一个列表 {% for obj in list reversed %} 。

如果你循环的是（x，y）坐标的列表，你可以这样：

{% for x, y in points %} There is a point at {{ x }},{{ y }} {% endfor %}

如果你循环的是字典，你可以这样：

{% for key, value in data.items %} {{ key }}: {{ value }} {% endfor %}

for循环设置了许多循环中可用的变量:

for ... empty

for标签能使用一个可选的子标签{% empty %} ，表示当循环为空时会被显示：

<ul> {% for athlete in athlete_list %} <li>{{ athlete.name }}</li> {% empty %} <li>Sorry, no athlete in this list!</li> {% endfor %} <ul>

等价于:

<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>

if

{% if %} 标签测试一个变量，若变量为真（即其存在、非空，且不是一个为假的布尔值），区块中的内容就会被输出：

{% if athlete_list %} Number of athletes: {{ athlete_list|length }} {% elif athlete_in_locker_room_list %} Athletes should be out of the locker room soon! {% else %} No athletes. {% endif %}

现在新版本支持 {% elif %} 子标签.

Boolean operators

if 语句可使用 and 、 or 和 not 来测试变量或者对给定的变量取反：

{% 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 %}

Django新版本支持在同个标签中使用and和or。注意 and比or的优先级更高:

{% if athlete_list and coach_list or cheerleader_list %}

可以这样解释:

if (athlete_list and coach_list) or cheerleader_list

== operator

相等：

{% if somevar == "x" %} This appears if variable somevar equals the string "x" {% endif %}

!= operator

不相等：

{% 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

小于：

{% if somevar < 100 %} This appears if variable somevar is less than 100. {% endif %}

> operator

大于：

{% if somevar > 0 %} This appears if variable somevar is greater than 0. {% endif %}

<= operator

小于或等于：

{% if somevar <= 100 %} This appears if variable somevar is less than 100 or equal to 100. {% endif %}

>= operator

大于或等于：

{% if somevar >= 1 %} This appears if variable somevar is greater than 1 or equal to 1. {% endif %}

in operator

包含：

{% 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

不包含。

注意：不能这样链式比较：

{% if a > b > c %} (WRONG)

应该这样:

{% if a > b and b > c %}

Filters

你能在if标签中使用过滤器. For example:

{% if messages|length >= 100 %} You have lots of messages today! {% endif %}

Complex expressions

复杂表达式。优先级从低到高：

• or
• and
• not
• in
• ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=

例：

{% if a == b or c == d and e %}

解释成：

(a == b) or ((c == d) and e)

ifchanged

检查循环中一个值从最近一次重复其是否改变。

ifchanged 语句块用于循环中，其作用有两个：

1. 它会把要渲染的内容与前一次作比较，发生变化时才显示它。例如，下面要显示一个日期列表，只有月份改变时才会显示它：

   <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. 如果给的是一个变量，就会检查它是否发生改变。下面例子中日期每次发生变化时就会显示出来，但只有小时和日期都发生变化时才会显示小时。

   {% for date in days %} {% ifchanged date.date %} {{ date.date }} {% endifchanged %} {% ifchanged date.hour date.date %} {{ date.hour }} {% endifchanged %} {% endfor %}

ifcahanged标签也可以使用else子标签，当值没有改变时输出：

{% for match in matches %} <div style="background-color:  {% ifchanged match.ballot_id %}  {% cycle "red" "blue" %}  {% else %}  grey  {% endifchanged %}  ">{{ match }}</div> {% endfor %}

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.

ifnotequal

Just like ifequal, except it tests that the two arguments are not equal.

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:

  {{ greeting }}, {{ person|default:"friend" }}!

You can pass additional context to the template using keyword arguments:

{% include "name_snippet.html" with person="Jane" greeting="Hello" %}

If you want to only render the context with the variables provided (or even no variables at all), use the only option:

{% include "name_snippet.html" with greeting="Hi" only %}

See also: {% ssi %}.

load

Loads a custom template tag set.

For example, the following template would load all the tags and filters registered in somelibrary and otherlibrary located in package package:

{% load somelibrary package.otherlibrary %}

You can also selectively load individual filters or tags from a library, using the from argument. In this example, the template tags/filters named foo and bar will be loaded from somelibrary:

{% load foo bar from somelibrary %}

See Custom tag and filter libraries for more information.

now

Displays the current date and/or time, using a format according to the given string. Such string can contain format specifiers characters as described in the date filter section.

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".

It is {% now "SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT" %}

regroup

Regroups 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 withfirst_name, last_name, and gender keys:

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 resultgender_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):

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 %}

Grouping on other properties

Any valid template lookup is a legal grouping attribute for the regroup tag, including methods, attributes, dictionary keys and list items. For example, if the "gender" field is a foreign key to a class with an attribute "description," you could use:

{% regroup people by gender.description as gender_list %}

Or, if gender is a field with choices, it will have a ^django.db.models.Model.get_FOO_display() method available as an attribute, allowing you to group on the display string rather than the choices key:

{% regroup people by get_gender_display as gender_list %}

{{ gender.grouper }} will now display the value fields from the choices set rather than the keys.

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 %}

ssi

Outputs 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 ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS in your Django settings, as a security measure.

See also: {% include %}.

{% load ssi from future %} {% ssi ‘/home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html‘ %}

templatetag

Outputs 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:

url

Returns an absolute path reference (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:

(‘^client/(\d+)/$‘, ‘app_views.client‘)

If this app‘s URLconf is included into the project‘s URLconf under a path such as this:

(‘^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/.

If you‘re using named 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 ^django.core.urlresolvers.NoReverseMatch exception raised, which will cause your site to display an error page.

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 %}

If you‘d like to retrieve a namespaced URL, specify the fully qualified name:

{% url myapp:view-name %}

This will follow the normal namespaced URL resolution strategy, including using any hints provided by the context as to the current application.

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 equals signs. Did we mention you shouldn‘t use this syntax in any new projects?

{% load url from future %} {% url ‘app_views.client‘ %} {% url ‘myapp:view-name‘ %} {% with view_path="app_views.client" %} {% url view_path client.id %} {% endwith %} {% with url_name="client-detail-view" %} {% url url_name client.id %} {% endwith %}

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).

with

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 total=business.employees.count %} {{ total }} employee{{ total|pluralize }} {% endwith %}

The populated variable (in the example above, total) is only available between the {% with %} and {% endwith %} tags.

You can assign more than one context variable:

{% with alpha=1 beta=2 %} ... {% endwith %}

add

Adds the argument to the value.

For example:

{{ value|add:"2" }}

If value is 4, then the output will be 6.

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].

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".

capfirst

Capitalizes the first character of the value.

For example:

{{ value|capfirst }}

If value is "django", the output will be "Django".

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    ".

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".

date

Formats a date according to the given format.

Uses a similar format as PHP‘s date() function (http://php.net/date) with some differences.

Available format strings:

The c and u format specification characters were added in Django 1.2.

The e and o format specification characters were added in Django 1.4.

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‘.

The format passed can be one of the predefined ones DATE_FORMAT, DATETIME_FORMAT, SHORT_DATE_FORMAT or SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT, or a custom format that uses the format specifiers shown in the table above. Note that predefined formats may vary depending on the current locale.

Assuming that USE_L10N is True and LANGUAGE_CODE is, for example, "es", then for:

{{ value|date:"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT" }}

the output would 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 DATE_FORMAT setting will be used, without applying any localization.

default

If value evaluates to False, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses the value.

For example:

{{ value|default:"nothing" }}

If value is "" (the empty string), the output will be nothing.

default_if_none

If (and only if) value is None, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses 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".

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:

[ {‘name‘: ‘zed‘, ‘age‘: 19}, {‘name‘: ‘amy‘, ‘age‘: 22}, {‘name‘: ‘joe‘, ‘age‘: 31}, ]

then the output would be:

[ {‘name‘: ‘amy‘, ‘age‘: 22}, {‘name‘: ‘joe‘, ‘age‘: 31}, {‘name‘: ‘zed‘, ‘age‘: 19}, ]

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.

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.

escape

Escapes a string‘s HTML. Specifically, it makes these replacements:

• < is converted to &lt;
• > is converted to &gt;
• ‘ (single quote) is converted to &#39;
• " (double quote) is converted to &quot;
• & is converted to &amp;

The escaping is only applied when the string is output, so it does not matter where in a chained sequence of filters you putescape: it will always be applied as though it were the last filter. If you want escaping to be applied immediately, use theforce_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.

escapejs

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".

filesizeformat

Formats 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.

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‘.

fix_ampersands

Replaces ampersands with &amp; entities.

For example:

{{ value|fix_ampersands }}

If value is Tom & Jerry, the output will be Tom &amp; Jerry.

However, ampersands used in named entities and numeric character references will not be replaced. For example, if value isCaf&eacute;, the output will not be Caf&amp;eacute; but remain Caf&eacute;. This means that in some edge cases, such as acronyms followed by semicolons, this filter will not replace ampersands that need replacing. For example, if value isContact the R&D;, the output will remain unchanged because &D; resembles a named entity.

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:

If used with a numeric integer argument, floatformat rounds a number to that many decimal places. For example:

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:

Using floatformat with no argument is equivalent to using floatformat with an argument of -1.

force_escape

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.

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.

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&amp;me=2".

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".

last

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".

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.

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.

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>.

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.

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

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    ".

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.

make_list

Returns the value turned into a list. For a string, it‘s a list of characters. For an integer, the argument is cast into an unicode string before creating a list.

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[u‘1‘, u‘2‘, u‘3‘].

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.

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" }}.

pprint

A wrapper around pprint.pprint() -- for debugging, really.

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".

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".

Note that this filter is case-sensitive.

If value is "<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>" the output will be "<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a slug".

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".

safe

Marks a string as not requiring further HTML escaping prior to output. When autoescaping is off, this filter has no effect.

{{ var|safe|escape }}

safeseq

Applies the safe filter to each element of a sequence. Useful in conjunction with other filters that operate on sequences, such as join. For example:

{{ some_list|safeseq|join:", " }}

You couldn‘t use the 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.

slice

Returns a slice of the list.

Uses the same syntax as Python‘s list slicing. Seehttp://diveintopython.net/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‘].

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".

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".

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".

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 date filter. 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 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 USE_L10N is True and 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 TIME_FORMAT setting will be used, without applying any localization.

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_dateis 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.

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). Iffrom_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.

title

Converts a string into titlecase.

For example:

{{ value|title }}

If value is "my first post", the output will be "My First Post".

truncatechars

Truncates a string if it is longer than the specified number of characters. Truncated strings will end with a translatable ellipsis sequence ("...").

Argument: Number of characters to truncate to

For example:

{{ value|truncatechars:9 }}

If value is "Joel is a slug", the output will be "Joel i...".

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.

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.

unordered_list

Recursively takes a self-nested list and returns an HTML unordered list -- WITHOUT opening and closing <ul> tags.

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: An older, more restrictive and verbose input format is also supported:[‘States‘, [[‘Kansas‘, [[‘Lawrence‘, []], [‘Topeka‘, []]]], [‘Illinois‘, []]]],

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".

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".

An optional argument containing the characters which should not be escaped can be provided.

If not provided, the ‘/‘ character is assumed safe. An empty string can be provided when all characters should be escaped. For example:

{{ value|urlencode:"" }}

If value is "http://www.example.org/", the output will be "http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.org%2F".

urlize

Converts URLs in text into clickable links.

This template tag works on links prefixed with http://, https://, or www.. For example, http://goo.gl/aia1t will get converted butgoo.gl/aia1t won‘t.

It also supports domain-only links ending in one of the original top level domains (.com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, and .org). For example, djangoproject.com gets converted.

Until Django 1.4, only the .com, .net and .org suffixes were supported for domain-only links.

Links can have trailing punctuation (periods, commas, close-parens) and leading punctuation (opening parens), and urlize will still do the right thing.

Links generated by urlize have a rel="nofollow" attribute added to them.

For example:

{{ value|urlize }}

If value is "Check out www.djangoproject.com", the output will be"Check out <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com" rel="nofollow">www.djangoproject.com</a>".

The urlize filter also takes an optional parameter autoescape. If autoescape is True, the link text and URLs will be escaped using Django‘s built-in escape filter. The default value for autoescape is True.

urlizetrunc

Converts URLs into clickable links just like urlize, but truncates URLs longer than the given character limit.

Argument: Number of characters that link text should be truncated to, including the ellipsis that‘s added if truncation is necessary.

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" rel="nofollow">www.djangopr...</a>‘.

As with urlize, this filter should only be applied to plain text.

wordcount

Returns the number of words.

For example:

{{ value|wordcount }}

If value is "Joel is a slug", the output will be 4.

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

yesno

Maps values for true, false and (optionally) None, to the strings "yes", "no", "maybe", or a custom mapping passed as a comma-separated list, and returns one of those strings according to the value:

For example:

{{ value|yesno:"yeah,no,maybe" }}

i18n

This library allows specifying translatable text in templates. To enable it, set USE_I18N to True, then load it with {% load i18n %}.

See Internationalization: in template code.

l10n

This library provides control over the localization of values in templates. You only need to load the library using{% load l10n %}, but you‘ll often set USE_L10N to True so that localization is active by default.

See Controlling localization in templates.

tz

This library provides control over time zone conversions in templates. Like l10n, you only need to load the library using{% load tz %}, but you‘ll usually also set USE_TZ to True so that conversion to local time happens by default.

See Time zone aware output in templates.
