I’ve written a custom template tag:

def mytag(para):
    return something

In my template I am getting a value {{value}}. Now I am using {{value|mytag}} to apply the tag to the value, and it is throwing a syntax error.

    To use template tags in Django, you wrap the name of the tag in {% and %}, like this:

    {% mytag %}
    

    If your tag takes a parameter, as yours seems to, you pass the parameter after the name of the tag:

    {% mytag value %}
    

    The syntax you were trying to use — {{ value|mytag }} is for template filters, not tags.
