Django Converts a block content into all uppercase

Question

Just starting to play around with Django and I'm trying to make the content of a block in all uppercase

my base.html template

{% block page-title %}{{ "test123"|upper }}{% endblock %}

and it will output perfectly with TEST123

I would like to make it always uppercase and not having to apply the upper tag each time I want to overwrite it.

For example in my contact.html

{% block page-title %}Contact us{% endblock %}

I want to keep it as DRY as possible and not having to type {{ "Contact us"|upper }} .

I've tried {{ {% block page-title %}{% endblock %}|upper }} but I get a TemplateSyntaxError

Answer 1

You can use the {% filter %} tag to apply a filter to a whole bunch of variables.

{% filter upper %}
   A whole bunch of {{ text }} and {{ variables }}
{% endfilter %}

While not addressing your question with Python there is a simple CSS approach (source):

text-transform: uppercase
