{# title = More About Contexts #} {# foo = 1234.5 #} {# bar = [ 100, 200, "Hello World" ] #}
{# title = More About Context #}
{% endverbatim %}
at the top of the HTML page will create the variable title
that
can be used in the page as {% verbatim %}{{ page.title }}
{% endverbatim %}
to produce: {{page.title}}
To add more variables list them one on each line. To add data beyond a simple string use the JSON format:
{% code "django-comments" %}
Note that in the last example for bar
gets turned into python list accessible as
{% verbatim %}{{ page.bar }}
{% endverbatim %}
to produce {{page.bar}}.
The {% verbatim %}{{ page.bar }}
{% endverbatim %} object can also be looped over with Django
to produce:
{% for elem in page.bar %}
* {{ elem }}
{% endfor %}
### Advanced Context
The second method of getting context into a page is a python module named context.py
placed in the directory root. This may contain
any python construct. Make sure that this python module can be executed without errors.
The content of this module will be visible under the parameter data
{% verbatim %}{{ context }}
{% endverbatim %} variable name.
Example supposed that the `context.py` file contains the following:
{% code "context.py" lang='python' %}
This file has to be in the root location of the site. We can now access the contents of this module
via `context` variable like
so {% verbatim %}{{ context.greeting }}
{% endverbatim %} will produce: {{ context.greeting }}
Go back to: {% link "index.html" "Home Page" %}.
