Using string literals as parameters to template tags in Django templates

Question

One of the things I find myself doing often is passing string literals as parameters to template tags or functions; for instance:

{% url my-url \'my_param\'          


        

Answer 1

Very wierd - I have a django project that uses single quotes to pass a string value and it functions just fine.

On further investigation it turns out this has changed in django 1.5. It now requires the quotes even around the url pattern name.
