django templates, find string replace with other string

Question

Hay, I'm writing some templates but i want to convert " " into "_" within a string.

I want to convert

{{ user.name }}

Which outputs "My Name"

to "My_Name"

how do i do this?

Thanks

There is no built-in tag or filter to do this replacement. Write a filter that splits by a given character, and then combine that with the join filter, or write a filter that does the replacement directly.
