Pardon if this is a FAQ, but is there a built-in way of distinguishing between None and the other typical false values (False/0/[]) in a template? Something along the lines of:

{% if var == None %} ... {% endif %}

Thanks!

It's best to just try before asking if something works :) There is a
filter variant too:
