Question

i have this code:

{% if True %}
    yo!
{% else %}
    what?
{% endif %}

and the output is, of course, what? (of course, because i wouldn’t ask the question otherwise, would i?)

does True not exist in the template world?

Answer 1

That is kind of funny, and could possibly be considered a bug, but I imagine it has to do with the way template tags are processed. The first parameter to if is likely being treated as a context variable, so it’s looking up True in the context dict, and of course, getting nothing because there’s no True key.
