Tutorial - URL Template Tag Error

[max@…]

I'm working through the tutorial, and on the following page:

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/

there is an error in the code in the final paragraph. We are instructed to use the following line to make use of the URL template helper:

<li><a href="{% url 'polls.views.detail' poll.id %}">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>

However, the single quotes around 'polls.views.detail' result in a 'No Reverse Match' error. I found that removing the single quotes, giving:

<li><a href="{% url polls.views.detail poll.id %}">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>

worked without producing the error.

You're using Django 1.4 but reading the documentation for the development version.

Use the version switcher at the bottom right of the docs to read the right version for your Django installation.

Added a warning about the {% url %} syntax change

at the point where it bites most beginners.
