Question

I am sending list to a template using render_to_response. I am using django shortcuts. Hoe to do that? How to set context instance with a variable?

Answer 1

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def my_view(request):
    mylist = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3']

    return render_to_response('template.html', {'mylist':mylist})

You can then access and enumerate list in the template like this (amongst other methods):

{% for i in mylist %}
   {{ i }}, 
{% endfor %}
