How to understand below html code?

[Utpal Brahma]

I am in tutorial 3 of Django.But i am stuck in understanding the below code.Please heLP me!!!

{% if latest_question_list %}
<ul>
{% for question in latest_question_list %}
<li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No polls are available.</p>
{% endif %}

Utpal, it's not pure HTML. It's got some templating in there as well - Jinja2 I think is the default.

Regardless, it reads like Python:

if the list exists, open an unnumbered list

for every question in the list, create a dot point with the list question. The list question will be a html a link back to the question. End for

end list

else

"no list"

end if

Cheers

"The antidote to apocalypticism is apocalyptic civics. Apocalyptic civics is the insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we panic about it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have failed and our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we are creative agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is the conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way through is together. "

Hi.

That's actually Django template which uses Django templating language. It's not Jinja2 as suggested in other post.

What it does is well explained in that other post though.

Hi,

I just want to chime in and clarify that while Django does indeed support Jinja2, it is not the default template language.

Django comes with its own template language, which is used in the tutorial, the documentation and probably most articles related to Django.

The documentation gives a good overview: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/templates/#the-django-template-language

However, Lachian's interpretation of the template is correct.

It is worth noting that Jinja2 is actually modeled after the Django template language, so it is easy to confuse the two on a first glance.

Cheers, 
Daniel
