Here are you 2 functions in my django views.
The first one and the second should do the same thing. But when I used the first function, it says “outside function” on the last line, which is “return HttpResponse(output)”.

Why is that?

def main_page(request):
    output = '''
        <html>
            <head><title>%s</title></head>
            <body>
                <h1>%s</h1><p>%s</p>
            </body>
        </html>
    ''' % (
        'Django Learning',
        'Welcome',
        'WYou can share book marks here!'
)
return HttpResponse(output)

def main_page(request):
    title_sowl = "Django Learning"
    header_sowl = "Welcome"
    text_sowl = "You can share book marks here"
    output = u"<html><head><title>%s</title></head><body><h1>%s</h1><p>%s</p></body></html>" % (title_sowl,header_sowl,text_sowl)
    return HttpResponse(output)

    It’s because you need to indent that line in order for it to be considered a part of the main_page method.
