This is a quick and dirty way to reuse the Django templating system for your own ends. Just pop in the familiar Django template syntax into whatever content you like and any chunk of content can be a template. This is great if you need to wrap data in HTML (as in for a mass email). The best part about this is that your "template" can now be stored in a database, instead of just in the file system.

"""Get a `template` and drop information into it."""

result = get_object_or_404(SomeInfo, pk=object_id)
t = Template(doc_template.content)
c = Context({'result': result,})
final_html = t.render(c)
final_html = mark_safe(final_html)
return render_to_response('printable.html', {'final_html':final_html}, RequestContext(request))
