That worked, except for a couple of errors. Revised version (in case
it ever helps someone else):
from django.template import Library
register = Library()
@register.filter
def spannedstring(value):
""" adds span around first half of string """
words = value.split()
halfwords = len(words)/2
firsthalf = words[:halfwords]
lasthalf = words[halfwords:]
return '<span class="firsthalf">'+ ' '.join(firsthalf) + '</
span> '+ ' '.join(lasthalf)
