Hey folks!
The instructions in step 8 of the tutorial recommend adding the django-
debug-toolbar as a way to understand third-party apps, etc, but it doesn't
work without additional changes to the mysite project.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/intro/tutorial08/#installing-django-
debug-toolbar
It finishes by saying, "Once installed, you should be able to see the DjDT
“handle” on the right side of the browser window when you refresh the
polls application."
However, the panel only shows if the view has a "</body>" tag, which none
of the views you write have.
Suggest either adding the body tag into the earlier pages, updating the
documentation to say you need to add them, or using a different addon as
an example.
