I need to include the contents of a css file in my template [1]
The css content needs to exist within <style type="text/css"> and
</style> tags so that the pdf output software I'm using can see the styles.
I can get the correct effect by copying and pasting the contents of
the css file into the template but that way madness lies!
Not necessarily. If that's the only location where this CSS is used,
then it may be appropriate to include it directly in the template.
It is used elsewhere too
{% include %} exists but seems designed for other templates. And I
can't find it in the docs.

Sorry about that. Missed it when scanning the index list on the right of
the page.
Is there a way to include the content of a css file?
I'm reasonably confident that the include tag will do exactly what you
want it to do. Django is not going to care whether it is including HTML
or CSS or a recipe for chocolate French fries. It'll only care if other
template tags are included and cause other issues, but otherwise the
content is irrelevant. All the template system does is generate a text
file, ultimately.
Includes the css file thanks James but it doesn't satisfy the pdf software.
Back to the embedded styles copied and pasted.
Oh well.
Mike
I'm assuming this CSS file is located in your template directories and
not in your static files area so that the template system can find it.
