Using {% url ??? %} in django templates

Question

I have looked a lot on google for answers of how to use the \'url\' tag in templates only to find many responses saying \'You just insert it into your template and point it

Answer 1

The url template tag will pass the parameter as a string and not as a function reference to reverse(). The simplest way to get this working is adding a name to the view:

url(r'^/logout/' , logout_view, name='logout_view')
