Chapter 1: Overview Of Theming In Django Market - StephenPower/Bootstrap-Themes-Summer-2012-Release GitHub Wiki

Django Market Themes were built on OSS (open source software) technology:

1. Python
2. Jinja2

You probably know what Python is, but may ask what's Jijna2?

Jinja2 is a modern and designer friendly templating language for Python, modelled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:

A simple example: `

                 {% for categories in shop_subcategories %}
                 <p><a href="/search/?q={{categories.name}}">{{ categories.name }}</a></p>
                 {% endfor %}
                 <h5>Quick Navigation</h5>
                 {% for link in links %}
                 <p><a href="{{ link.to }}">{{ link.name }}</a></p>
                 {% endfor %}

`

Features:

• sandboxed execution
• powerful automatic HTML escaping system for XSS prevention
• template inheritance
• compiles down to the optimal python code just in time
• optional ahead of time template compilation
• easy to debug. Line numbers of exceptions directly point to the correct line in the template.
• configurable syntax

Django Market Theming is for designers, developers and shop owners that are familiar with HTML / CSS.
