Title Body

This question is related to (but perhaps not quite the same as): Does Django have HTML helpers? My problem is this: In Django, I am constantly reproducing the basic formatting for low-level database objects. Here's an example: I have two classes, Person and Address. There are multiple Addresses for each Person, setup likeso (in their respective models.py ) class Person(models.Model): ... class Address(models.Model): contact = models.ForeignKey(Person) Now, whenever I look at a Person, I want to see all their Addresses. So suppose Persons/views.py has something likeso: def detail(request, person_id): person = get_object_or_404( Person, pk=person_id ) return render_to_response('persons/details.html', { 'title' : unicode(person), 'addresses': person.address_set.all() } ) And, I have a template, persons/details.html , with code, for example, like-so: {% extends "base.html" %} {% for address in addresses %} {{ address.name }} {{ address.type }} {{ address.street_1 }} {{ address.street_2 }} {{ address.city }} {{ address.stateprov }} {{ address.postalcode }} {{ address.country }} <hr> {{ endfor }} I am repeating this code quite a bit, often with minor variations, such when it's in a table, and then must be substituted by < /td >< td >. Other times, I don't want a street_2 to display (or the after it). All to say, there is fundamental logic that I want to express, that I am even more loath to tote around with block-and-copy! What I want is a persons/details.html with, for example, the following: {% extends "base.html" %} {% for address in addresses %}
