Re: Conditionals in Templates

Here's a workaround I came up with.

I defined a class:

class TableValue:

    def __init__(self, value):

        self.value = value

        self.is_list = isinstance(value, list)

Then in the Template I wrote

            <tbody>

            {% for row in rows %}

                <tr>

                    {% for cell in row %}

                        <td>

                                {% if cell.is_list %}

                                    <ul>

                                    {% for element in cell.value %}

                                        <li>{{ element }}</li>

                                    {% endfor %}

                                    </ul>

                                {% else %}

                                    {{ cell.value }}

                                {% endif %}

                        </td>

                    {% endfor %}

                </tr>

            {% endfor %}

            </tbody>

Is that considered decent Django?

I'm generating a table. I want the cells to be different depending on the type of the content. How do I test for the type of the content? I'd like to do something like this.

                <tr>

                    {% for cell in row %}

                </tr>

            {% endfor %}

            </tbody>

But "{% if isinstance( {{ cell }}, list) %}" is not allowed. Apparently I can't call a function in an {% if ...  %} tag.  Is there another way to do this?

Thanks.
