Templates in Django
We learned how to return a HttpResponse with a h1 tag from a view. To return a full
HTML page, you’ll need to use a templates.
Step 1:- we need to create a folder named templates inside root directory.
Step 2:- Register our templates folder in [Link] inside the TEMPLATES list .
So that Django will search for html files inside templates directory

DTL(Django template language)
DTL is a powerful and flexible language that allows you to create dynamic web pages
using HTML templates.
At runtime, the template engine replaces variables in a template file with actual values,
and transforms the template into an HTML file sent to the client.
The Basic Structure of Django Template Language(DTL)
The DTL syntax is very similar to Python. It consists of :
Template tags --> {% tag %}
Template variables --> {{ var }}
Template Filters --> {{ var|lower }}
Template Comments --> {# #}
The template tags are a way of telling Django that here comes something else than plain
HTML. The template tags allows us to to do some programming on the server before sending
HTML to the client.
Before using DTL lets learn about context dictionary which is third argument of our render
function.
Context
A Context is a dictionary with variable names as the key and their values as the value.
Variable(Key) names consist of any combination of alphanumeric characters and the
underscore ("_")
Do not start with an underscore, and number.
You cannot have spaces or punctuation characters “.” in variable names.
