Disabling the use of certain template tags

Hey guys, I'm planning on writing a django app that will serve as a tool for writing mail-merge type form letters. Well, not actually letters, but documents which will have variable substitution in them, to either rendered either as HTML or LaTeX documents or some other markup language. Of

Routing to database based on user

Using etags for backend caching

Hey guys, My project makes pretty heavy use of etags for browser-level caching, but I'd like to go one step further and be able to cache pages on the backend keyed by the page's etag. As far as I can tell, none of the current built-in caching middleware/decorators or conditional processing d
