Here's a workaround I came up with.
I defined a class:
class TableValue:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
self.is_list = isinstance(value, list)
Then in the Template I wrote
<tbody>
{% for row in rows %}
<tr>
{% for cell in row %}
<td>
{% if cell.is_list %}
<ul>
{% for element in cell.value %}
<li>{{ element }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
{{ cell.value }}
{% endif %}
</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
Is that considered decent Django?
