Hi,
The sentence is technically correct: by default, a
DetailViewwill use<app name>/<model name>_detail.html, as noted in the previous sentence. In the context of the example, that would bepolls/poll_detail.html.This is the name of the template that would be used if we didn't define the
template_nameattribute on the view.So, while the sentence is correct, I agree with you that it can be a bit confusing. Maybe using a conditional form would make it clearer: "In our case, it would use the template "polls/poll_detail.html".
What do you think?
Thanks for your report.
