Literals in django template language?

Question

If I want some text to appear literally in a Django template, e.g.

{{Image.jpg|title}}

and I want that text to be output (not interpretated) in the HTML, how do I do so?

Answer 1

You could start it with an HTML entity. e.g.:

{{Image.jpg|title}}

However, I can only imagine this means you are writing content in your templates, which is normally not advisable.

Answer 2

Try the {% templatetag %} template tag

{% templatetag openvariable %}Image.jpg|title{% templatetag closevariable %}
