Template tag to display boolean values?

[Derek]

I am looking for a way to display a boolean value, with the "on" / "off" icon that the Django Admin uses in the change list, but within a template view of a single object.  The documentation refers to a "custom tag", but I am not sure if the code or tag is accessible from elsewhere - there is no documentation for any tags to display booleans on the API document page (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/templates/builtins/#built-in-tag-reference).  The tag also needs to be able to handle MySQL "booleans" (which are tinyint fields with values of 0 or 1).

Thanks
Derek

Thanks - but that outputs strings, not URL links to images...

Except if you define the strings as URL links to images...

So a '<img src="foo.gif">' string will automatically show as an image
- that's neat!

You may need to pass it through the "safe" filter.
