**Problem**
In the documentation on the following page there is a mistake:
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templates/api/#django.template.Template.render]
Under ''Rendering a context'' -> ''Template.render(context)'' it is
demonstrated how to render a context onto a template.
However doing this results in the error: ''TypeError: context must be a
dict rather than Context.''
I have found that this usage of the ''Context'' class is deprecated in
Django 1.10+.
**Solution**
The documentation regarding ''Rendering a Context'' should be updated to
insert a dictionary instead of first creating a Context and passing that
to the ''render'' function.
