I wast about to answer something similar to Jay Parlar bu took a minute
to check it.. And to my own wonder such construction really tries to
output a list while I thought it should output something like
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet ... > that is swallowed by HTML as an
unknown tag.
However this list cosists of repr() of its values. So if you have a list
with only one value and your assoc_cats don't have __repr__ you will get
this: "[ ]"
So to have a real list of strings you should either cycle through the
queryset or just join it:
{{ post.assoc_cats.all|join:", " }}
It woul work if your assoc_cats do have __str__ method.
