Not necessarily. If that's the only location where this CSS is used, then
it may be appropriate to include it directly in the template.

I'm reasonably confident that the include tag will do exactly what you want
it to do. Django is not going to care whether it is including HTML or CSS
or a recipe for chocolate French fries. It'll only care if other template
tags are included and cause other issues, but otherwise the content is
irrelevant. All the template system does is generate a text file,
ultimately.

I'm assuming this CSS file is located in your template directories and not
in your static files area so that the template system can find it.

I'm afraid I still don't have enough information to help you – you
still haven't provided the other details I asked for in my previous
email, i.e. the URL of a failing request, and a full traceback. While
we're at it, showing how you are referencing static files in your
templates wouldn't hurt either.

In the meantime, just two observations.

Do you have any specific reason to make those static files available
in two locations? As in, your videos will be available in both
/static/videos/some-video.wtf, and /static/some-video.wtf. Your
bootstrap assets will be available in three locations (/static/,
/static/bootstrap/, /static/bootstrap/whatever/). I fail to see how
that will lead to anything other than confusion and problems... You
might want to remove everything but the first element in this list,
and always use the full /static/somedir/another/somefile.ext paths to
reference static files.

Since you're using whitenoise, have you tried to follow the setup
instructions at http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/django.html in
their entirety? I'm mostly referring to the middleware.

However, as even the whitenoise docs say, before you start playing
around with whitenoise, you should first make sure your basic
staticfiles setup is correct.

Simple way is using virtual environment. In this case version of system is

template include for Django 1.8

[Mike Dewhirst]

I need to include the contents of a css file in my template [1]

The css content needs to exist within  and 
 tags so that the pdf output software I'm using can see the styles.


I can get the correct effect by copying and pasting the contents of the 
css file into the template but that way madness lies!


{% include %} exists but seems designed for other templates. And I can't 
find it in the docs.


Is there a way to include the content of a css file?

Thanks

Mike


[1] without using the normal href="{{STATIC_URL}}styles.css" />
