Hello,
Only my second time filing a ticket so please go easy on me.
Django's templates use a `.html` file extension. This is incorrect and
causes issues:
* The files aren't HTML, they're template files
* Linters associated with `.html` extensions expect HTML and will attempt
to format them
* Tools that calculate metrics associated with HTML files won't recognize
that the files aren't HTML
Ruby/Rails gets around this issue by using the `.html.erb` (Embedded Ruby)
extension, and there are comparable examples in other ecosystems like the
`.html.ejs` (Embedded JavaScript) templating language.
I believe Django can get around this with a similar terminating extension,
e.g. `.html.dtl` (Django Templating), or `.html.django`, or even
`.html.djgo`.
Adopting an extension for the templating language will make things easier
out of the box.
