Question

How do I use django templates tags with jquery template tags (link) without creating any conflicts? Both use {{ }} for marking tags. Does Django 1.3 have something to deal with this kind of issue? Real examples would be truly appreciated.

Answer 1

The built-in solutions in django that can help with this somewhat are

The templatetag tag with:

{% templatetag openvariable %}
{% templatetag closevariable %}

Whenever you need to use {{ or }} in your javascript which unfortunately will severely impact the readability of your code.

Alternatively if your javascript is static, then putting it in a separate file and including it with {% ssi %} without parsing it as a template would prevent conflicts.

There’s no really clean way to escape template tags in django templates that I know of.
