include - Django Template Tags

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Django being a powerful Batteries included framework provides convenience to rendering data in a template. Django templates not only allow passing data from view to template, but also provides some limited features of programming such as variables, for loops, comments, extends, include etc. This article revolves about how to use

include tag

in Templates.

include

tag loads a template and renders it with the current context. This is a way of “including” other templates within a template. The template name can either be a variable or a hard-coded (quoted) string, in either single or double quotes.

Syntax

{% include "template_name.html" %}

Example

{% include "foo/bar.html" %}

Normally the template name is relative to the template loader’s root directory. A string argument may also be a relative path starting with

../

as described in the

extends

tag.

include - Django template Tags Explanation

Illustration of How to use include tag in Django templates using an Example. Consider a project named

geeksforgeeks

having an app named

geeks

Refer to the following articles to check how to create a project and an app in Django.

Now create a view through which we will access the template, In

geeks/views.py

Python3


 # import Http Response from django
from django.shortcuts import render

# create a function
def geeks_view(request):

    # return response
    return render(request, "geeks.html.html")

Create a url path to map to this view. In

geeks/urls.py

Python3


 from django.urls import path

# importing views from views.py
from .views import geeks_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('', geeks_view),
]

Now we will create three templates to demonstrate

include tag

. Create a base template in

geeks.html

html


 <html>
    <!-- Include header -->
    {% include "component1.html" %}

    <h4>Body Here</h4>
    
    <!-- Include Footer -->
    {% include "component2.html" %}
</html>

Create two components in templates/component1.html

html


 <!-- component1.html -->
<h2> Header Here </h2>>

and templates/component2.html

html


 <!-- component2.html -->
<h4>Footer here</h4>

one can pass additional context to the template using keyword arguments:

{% include "name_snippet.html" with person="Jane" greeting="Hello" %}
