Coffin is a Jinja2 adapter for Django. Coffin currently makes the following Django tags available in Jinja:

  • {% cache %} - has currently an incompatibility: The second argument (the fragment name) needs to be specified with surrounding quotes if it is supposed to be a literal string, according to Jinja2 syntax. It will otherwise be considered an identifier and resolved as a variable.
  • {% load %} - is actually a no-op in Coffin, since templatetag libraries are always loaded. See also “Custom Filters and extensions”.
  • {% spaceless %}
  • {% url %} - additionally, a view|url() filter is also available. Or use view|url() for Django 1.5 style lookups by the value of view.
  • {% with %}
  • {% csrf_token %}

Django filters that are ported in Coffin:

  • date
  • floatformat
  • pluralize (expects an optional second parameter rather than the comma syntax)

  • timesince
  • timeuntil
  • truncatewords
  • truncatewords_html
