Yeah, that could have been a greate solution :) The problem is that
there is a huge amount of key-value sets to replace, and i don't want
to replace "-" in the blog posts (Tumblr is a blogging service). That
would result in a pretty complex regular expression.
What I did instead to solve this was to make a template filter.
Syntax for using this is {{ post|tumblr_var:"regular-title" }}, and it
will print post["regulat-title"].
The code in the filter is simple:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
def tumblr_var(value, key):
return value[key]
register.filter("tumblr_var", tumblr_var)
Thanks for your comments :)
