Custom tag not loaded in template

Question

I've created a custom tag that I want to use, but Django can't seem to find it. My templatetags directory is set up like this:

pygmentize.py

from pygments import highlight from pygments.lexers import get_lexer_by_name from django import template from pygments.formatters.other import NullFormatter  register = template.Library()  @register.tag(name='code') def do_code(parser,token):     code = token.split_contents()[-1]     nodelist = parser.parse(('endcode',))     parser.delete_first_token()     return CodeNode(code,nodelist)  class CodeNode(template.Node):     def __init__(self,lang,code):         self.lang = lang         self.nodelist = code      def render(self,context):         code = self.nodelist.render(context)         lexer = get_lexer_by_name('python')         return highlight(code,lexer,NullFormatter()) 

I am trying to use this tag to render code in gameprofile.html.

gameprofile.html

(% load pygmentize %} {% block content %}     <title>{% block title %} | {{ game.title }}{% endblock %}</title>     <div id="gamecodecontainer">         {% code %}             {{game.code}}         {% endcode %}     </div> {% endblock content %} 

When I navigate to gameprofile.html, I get an error:

Invalid block tag on line 23: 'code', expected 'endblock'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?

Answer 1

The error is in this line: (% load pygmentize %}, an invalid tag. Change it to {% load pygmentize %}

Answer 2

For Django 2.2 up to 3, you have to load staticfiles in html template first before use static keyword

{% load staticfiles %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}"> 

For other versions use static

{% load static %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}"> 

Also you have to check that you defined STATIC_URL in setting.py

At last, make sure the static files exist in the defined folder
