Question

I have the following dictionary passed to a render function  with sources being a list of strings and title being a string potentially equal to one of the strings in sources     title  title   sources  sources     In the HTML template I d like to accomplish something among the lines of the following      for source in sources       lt tr gt       lt td gt    source    lt  td gt       lt td gt           if title       source               Just now           endif         lt  td gt     lt  tr gt     endfor      However  the following block of text results in an error   TemplateSyntaxError at  admin start  Could not parse the remainder       from           with    if title       source       being highlighted in red

Sorry for comment in an old post but if you want to use an else if statement this will help you

{% if title == source %}
    Do This
{% elif title == value %}
    Do This
{% else %}
    Do This
{% endif %}

For more info see Django Documentation

You try this    I have already tried it in my django template   It will work fine  Just remove the curly braces pair    and    from   source     I have also added  lt table gt  tag and that s it   After modification your code will look something like below       for source in sources        lt table gt         lt tr gt             lt td gt    source    lt  td gt             lt td gt                   if title    source                    Just now                    endif               lt  td gt         lt  tr gt      lt  table gt     endfor      My dictionary looks like below     title   Rishikesh    sources    Hemkesh    Malinikesh    Rishikesh    Sandeep    Darshan    Veeru    Shwetabh      and OUTPUT looked like below once my template got rendered   Hemkesh  Malinikesh   Rishikesh   Just now  Sandeep  Darshan  Veeru    Shwetabh

You shouldn t use the double-bracket       syntax within if or ifequal statements  you can simply access the variable there like you would in normal python      if title    source              endif
