This extended syntax would really make some writing shorter
user has {{ num_files or "no" }} files
now, you have to write
user has {% if num_files %} {{ num_files }} {% else %} no {%
endif %} files

thank you for all the quick replies.
Mmmmh, its good to see that it is there, though I think
{{ num_files or "no" }}
looks better and is closer to what I would expect ...
but thats just an aesthetical thing, I guess.
thanks a lot

Although this is really off-topic in this list, there's also
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/#firstof
{% firstof foo bar baz %}

this {% firstof %} is even better, more explicit!
and it looks much nicer with filters {% firstof x|escape y|escape %}
better than {{ x|escape|default:y|escape }}
great, thanks for mentioning it.
