This Django ticket says that they will not add a default Django template file extension. What file extension do you use?

html. djt). Without a differentiated extension, you need to open a file in order to know it's a django template and not a regular (e.g. HTML) file.
DjangoTemplates engines accept the following OPTIONS : 'autoescape' : a boolean that controls whether HTML autoescaping is enabled. It defaults to True . Only set it to False if you're rendering non-HTML templates!
Jinja is similar to the Django template engine but provides Python-like expressions while ensuring that the templates are evaluated in a sandbox. It is a text-based template language and thus can be used to generate any markup as well as source code. Jinja.
Django sets Jinja with two default behaviors, one for when DEBUG=True -- a common setting in development -- and the other for when DEBUG=False -- a common setting in production. If DEBUG=True and an invalid variable is set in a Jinja template, Jinja uses the jinja2.
I honestly believe we need a standard extension for django template files. A template is NOT valid CSS/HTML/XML or anything else.

- You already know the files are templates because they should be in a template directory
- You don't want to have to open up files to see what they are (HTML, CSS, XML, etc). You would have to do this with a generic extension like .djt.
Point #2 can also be used in favor of a default extension or a mix (like .html.djt). Without a differentiated extension, you need to open a file in order to know it's a django template and not a regular (e.g. HTML) file.
And point #1 is just plain wrong, considering that they are not always in a template directory.

Ruby on Rails uses .html.erb for erb templates, something similar will work for Django too.
