E.g. {{{ path('articles//', …) }}} would only match a slug, and would pass the value on as ""slug"". (As seen here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#example ) This is wrong, as mentioned below (easy to miss, if you're eager to test stuff out): {{{ If a converter isn’t included, any string, excluding a / character, is matched. }}} ---- However it doesn't help, that the example uses ""slug"" as a name, and states {{{ /articles/2003/03/building-a-django-site/ }}} would match the last example, even though {{{ /articles/2003/03/building+a~django@site/ }}} would match it just as well. ---- Simple fix would be to just change the example from {{{ articles//// }}} to {{{ articles//// }}} because I suppose the implicit converter types aren't a feature of 2.0. (If someone points me to the right repo, I can do the little documentation change myself)" Uncategorized closed Documentation 2.0 Normal fixed Unreviewed 1 0 0 0 0 0
