Is there a way to pass a template variable into a custom template
tag? For example, say that my template is rendered like this, so that
books is in the context:
books = books.objects.all()
return render_to_response(template.html, {
"books":books
} context_instance=RequestContext(request)
Now say inside my template I want to do something like this:
{% for book in books %}
{% getBookInfo book %}
{% endfor %}
The idea being that getBookInfo is going to return some html that
describes the book.
However, I find that the book variable is not expanded. So when I get
into my getBookInfo custom template tag, the first argument it gets is
just the literal 'book', rather than the book object created by
iterating through books.
This seems like a reasonable thing to want to do - am I approaching it
the wrong way somehow?
