I have recently seen one HTML page.The code is embed with curly braces.Values for tags and loops are closed by curly braces.

            {% if authenticated %}
            <h1>Current User</h1>
            <p>{{user}}</p>
            {% else %}
            <h1>Current User</h1>
            <p>None</p>
            {% endif %}

What is the actaul use of these type of code?

Is HTML embedded with any other language?

  • It's a templating system like Twig: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/ – patricksweeney Sep 22 '15 at 12:39

  • It might be Django as well... You see the server side code, this page is generated per request and the client doesn't see these – ItayB Sep 22 '15 at 12:41

This may be Django script templates. Find more here.

This looks like the HTML is enriched with underscore.js or a similar templating engine.

It's used for displaying JavaScript data in your HTML without the need to know how JavaScript works.
