In templates sometimes you need to display some menu by checking whether the user is logged in or not. So use the above filter as shown below {% with request|check_login as logout %} {% if logout%} display something.... {% endif %} {% endwith %}
The above snippet makes all of the settings.py variables accessible in templates. Add this to the context_processors.py file inside your app directory. After that add the below line to the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in your settings.py. '*app_name*.context_processors.access_to_settings'
The above snippet can be added as a custom filter for rendering code snippets in django templates. A simple '|render' next to any source code will do. To add css, use the following command to generate css file. pygmentize -S emacs -f html > pygments-colorful.css And link this css file to the template.
