This is a very large existing app, and I am new at this job. That have
a table of data and they want me to make some of the data in the table
into links that take them to a more detailed view of the data. The
functionality to provide this more detailed view of the data already
exist in the app. So I am just trying to construct the href. As I
iterate through the table data, I need info from the header to build
the href.

OK, but is there some reason {{ headers.0.forloop.counter } does not
work when forloop.counter has a value of 2, yet {{ headers.0.2 }}
does work?
