@section django_builtins Tags and filters ported from Django
9
See the <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/templates/builtins/">Builtins documentation for Django 1.1</a> for an overview of the builtin tags and filters available in %Grantlee. Almost all tags and filter in django are available in %Grantlee. Exceptions are <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/templates/builtins/#url">the url tag</a>, because %Grantlee does not have a views system. Additionally the ssi tag is disabled because of potential security risks. The dictdort, dictsortreversed, filesizeformat, iriencode, phone2numeric, pluralize, pprint, title, truncatewords_html, urlencode, urlize and urlizetrunc filters have not yet been ported due to time constraints.

@section grantlee_extras Additional tags available in Grantlee
13
%Grantlee also provides some extra tags not available in DJango.
15
@subsection media_finder_tag media_finder
17
Queries %Grantlee for a complete URL, given a target name.
19
This tag can typically be used to insert a URL for an image, external script or CSS file, or other external media.
22
<img src="{% media_finder "someimage.png" %}" />
25
The media_finder tag retrieves the result through Engine::mediaUri, which in turn queries the TemplateLoaders for the URL to return via the TemplateLoader::getMediaUri interface.
27
It is possible to configure whether absolute or relative urls are created by using the Context::setUrlType method. If the path to external media is not the same as the path to the template, the Context::setRelativeMediaPath method can be used to specify a relative base path. For example, if creating a template <tt>/home/user/myoutput.html</tt> which references someimage.png, the path "myoutput_media/" can be set so that the @gr_tag{media_finder} puts the path <tt>myoutput_media/someimage.png</tt> into the template. This way the output and the media it references are portable together.
29
It is the responsibility of the caller to copy the media to the <tt>/home/user/myoutput_media/</tt> directory.
31
with <tt>media_prefix</tt> defined to nothing when creating output with absolute urls, and something like <tt>"media/"</tt> if creating output with relative urls and external media should be available in the <tt>media/</tt> subdirectory.
33
@subsection range_tag range
35
Loops over a range in a manner similar to the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#range">python builtin of the same name</a>.
37
Create a list from 0 to 5:
46
Create a list from 5 to 10:
49
{% range 5 10 as num %}
55
Create a list from 5 to 50 with a step of 5:
58
{% range 5 50 5 as num %}
64
The range tag can also be used without arguments:
68
<img src="{% media_finder "star.png" %}" />
