Two reasons that I can think of: 1. The title and description are for final consumption of the feed's user. So, their right place is in the template layer. That's similar reasoning to why you don't build your entire HTML inside your Python view code but rather in your templates. 2. It allows you to use templatetags and filters on the title and description fields. For example, you could strip HTML tags from your description value, make it include only the first 10 words, make it include a combination of fields from a model instead of just one field. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
