Hi, I was just referred here with a suggestion I posted on the django
ticket tracker. I've been studying the way we do template tags, and
had a suggestion for how to revise them to make them a bit easier. I
was thinking that out of the tags, I like the variable syntax the best
-- {{ variable.attribute }}. I realize that if we were to use the
double curly brackets on all of the tags, they might conflict with the
namespace, but it seems like having "block", "if", "elsif", "else",
"for", and "extends" and their respective 'end'ings as keywords would
not be burdensome. It's really unpleasant typing {%%} and left arrow
twice, space, the item name, and space for every tag and for its
closing tag.
An alternative that wouldn't affect the namespace but would still be
more convenient for both plain typing and possibly for code completion
(I don't know why eclipse pydev doesn't close these tags) would be
triple brackets -- {{{ block head }}}.
Thanks for your time,
-Dan
p.s. not sure if the code will show up appropriately in the above, but
hopefully you get the picture. Also, I'm on Windows and/or Linux...
Here's the initial reply:

I think it's a reasonable request but this would require a rigorous
discussion on django developers newsgroup before even having a ticket
and would be more like a 1.4 thing:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers
You may want to try TextMate Django bundles to make this easier on a
Mac - I don't have any other suggestions though.
Cheers.
