LoginView: {% bootstrap_form form %} instead of {{ form }} ?

In this video (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/loginview), the template used to generate the form was

{% bootstrap_form form %}

as opposed to what I'm used to:

{{ form }}

When do you use {% %} as opposed to {{ }} ?

Hi Natalie

# Say i had a class called user with an attribute of isAdmin, and lets say is Admin was True
{% if  user.isAdmin %}
  <p> do something </p>
{% endif %}

# if i wanted to print out the value of isAdmin 
{{ isAdmin}}

long story short, if you want to write python in your templates you use {%%} and if you want to print  out a variable you use {{ }}

hope this helps
