# Template Linting and Auto-Formatting for Django and Jinja Repositories

Uses djLint to scan Django, Jinja, Nunjucks, Twig, and HTML templates for indentation problems, malformed tags, and style drift, then optionally rewrites them into a consistent format. This is for agents that need to clean and validate template-heavy repos before review or release, not for general web framework setup.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.9 or higher and djLint

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install djlint
- npm i djlint

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Once upon a time all the other programming languages had a formatter and linter. Css, javascript, python, the c suite, typescript, ruby, php, go, swift, and you know the others. The cool kids on the block.
- _Or with the npm experimental install - Note, this requires python and pip to be on your system path._
- **⚠️ Help Needed! ⚠️** _Good with python?_ djLint was an experimental project and is catching on with other devs. Help out with a rewrite of the formatter to improve speed and html style for edge cases. Contribute on...
