Description

In the "Write views that actually do something" section, the following template is created:

{% if latest_poll_list %}
    <ul>
    {% for poll in latest_poll_list %}
        <li><a href="/polls/{{ poll.id }}/">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% else %}
    <p>No polls are available.</p>
{% endif %}

In the "Adding a background image" section, the stylesheet includes the following rule:

body {
    background: white url("images/background.gif") no-repeat right bottom;
}

The template needs a <body> tag for this to actually work. A beginner might be confused!

Did you try this out? It works because browsers implicitly add the <body> tag when one isn't present. I think it's fine to omit it for simplicity.
