Conditional in template with filters

Hi, in this exercise, we need to add conditional to the template, with filter. In my browser, everything goes well but an error occurs each time I run the program on treehouse.

Would you have an idea where I can find the error, I think the question is not very explicit.

{% if num_elf > 5 %}  
  Wow, that's a lot of elves!
{% else%}
  {{ num_elf }} el{{ num_elf|pluralize:"f,ves" }}
{% endif %}

Hi simon, the first task is just to print {{ elf_num }}. This needs to be present serperate from the if else statement. otherwise your code is pefect and passes just fine :)

{{ num_elf }}
{% if num_elf > 5 %}  
  Wow, that's a lot of elves!
{% else %}
   el{{ num_elf|pluralize:"f,ves" }}
{% endif %}
