 ===== Django systems =====
-Something smart here
+In the lib-python directory there's a base template, simply called base.html. Subsystems should extend this one (probably with their own base.html) and the base_content block in it.
+base.html provides the header and footer for pages, so subsystems need only contribute the content.

 Some features of the templates, such as debug, version number and account/user info and preferences requires context processors.
-Currently these context processors are: debug, account and nav_version.
+Context processors are not passed to templates by default with render_to_response(), a RequestContext object must be passed to render_to_response to get them.
-=== Debug ===
+Without the account_processor all user specific content in templates will not work.
-Provides a SQL debug table at the bottom of every Django page if the DEBUG setting is set to true.
+<code>
+render_to_response(
+    'path/to/template',
+     {'some_context': var},
+     RequestContext(request)
+)
+</code>

 Compability with Django templates are done seamless. The MainTemplate includes nav.webfront.compability.Cheetah which provides two methods called footer and header. These two methods are simply printed, and thus the header and footer appears.
+MainTemplate will automatically populate the needed instance variables for the Cheetah compability class.
