I don't know whether it's possible, but I'd like to be able to write something like the following:
{% with var1 var2 var3 as some_list %}
{{ some_list|maximum }}
{% endwith %}
Creating a list on the fly from an arbitrary number of template variables and/or literals seems useful, so I'm hopeful that I've overlooked something simple.
Failing that, though, I'd like to know how to create a template tag which accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. (I've played around with simple_tag
, which works well for tags which accept a fixed number of arguments.)
I don't want to go to the trouble of creating a parser and subclassing django.template.Node
until I've ascertained that there's no simpler solution.
