Does django templates support functions?
Can I write them inline within the template?
If I can, how?
No. The idea of Django templates is that they only display information (more or less). More complicated constructs (like functions) must be defined elsewhere.
But, you can create your own template tags or template filters (in Python code) and then use them in your template. They kind of act like functions. Their definition is not within your template, though.
You can read about it in django documentation
