You can do the html modification in JavaScript
Ex:
<script>
var a = true;
if (a){
document.getElementById("your_h2_tag_ID").innerHTML = "True";
}else{
document.getElementById("your_h2_tag_ID").innerHTML = "False";
}
<script>
No, you can't. For Django, var a = True is just a string.
Django is the one that creates the HTML and tells the browser what strings to use, and the browser will interpret the string and find it to be JavaScript, so it'll execute and finally see that a is a boolean.
By the time it does that, Django is long gone
The only way you can tell django to use a as a boolean, is to make another request to the server, sending a as a JSON or querystring parameter, and later interpret the request from python/django and use it in templates. (quite a costly task)
