Django templates are deliberately 'simple' to prevent template writers from embedding view logic in the template. If a complex logical operation required is required, it must be a representation of some larger abstract concept. Evaluate the condition in the view, and pass it in to the template as a context variable. That way, if the logical condition describing the abstract concept ever changes, you don't have to modify the template - just the view logic that evaluates the context variable. Russ Magee %-)
