In which cases is it better to create template tags (and load them into the template), than creating a context processor (which fills the request automatically)?
e.g. I have a dynamic menu that has to be included into all templates, so I’m putting it into my base.html. What is the preferred usage: context processor or custom template tag? And why?
Context processors is for putting data (information, content, objects) into the context used to render page.
Template tags are for formatting or processing that content.
A template tag that makes up new data is confusing. Not impossible or wrong, but very confusing.
