Introduction to Django Templates

A web page that shows a different article title for each visitor still has the same headings, menus and layout every time. Django keeps that fixed part in a text file, usually HTML, and marks the places where the changing values go. Each time a page is requested, Django fills those places with real data and sends the result to the browser. The file is called a template, and the filling step is called rendering.

This chapter covers templates and static files. This lesson shows where a template lives, how a view renders it, and how data travels from the view into the page
