What you've done here is turned that string into something the template
parser doesn't recognize as a template tag, so you no longer get an
incomplete block error since you've taken it out of any consideration by the
template parser.

You've done the same thing here, you have not really fixed the problem.

{% else %} is correct. The sequence (% or %) means nothing to the template
parser. The problem is somehow with the {% if %} part of the block -- it
does not seem that has been included properly, and therefore the template
engine is reporting and error on any subsequent tag that is expecting that
previous tag to have been included. Alternatively it might be the end of the
{% forr %} that has not been done properly, but I'm not sure offhand if you
would get the error you are describing in that situation.
