Suggestion for a slightly better explanation of custom template tags

[ranmoshe]

In ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/ there is a concise explanation of how to define a custom filter. It might be good to emphasize the need for an empty __init__.py file in the templatetags directory - right now it just appears in a 'suggested' directory structure, and one might just ignore it if one does not understand it's mandatory - happened to me.

That page already contain exactly what you're asking for under the heading ​Code Layout:

"If this doesn’t already exist, create it - don’t forget the __init__.py file to ensure the directory is treated as a Python package."

It is also noted in the sample directory structure. Doing more than that on this page would be redundant.

Thanks for the report, though!
