Cover Template System, template inheritance and template search path in Templates and Settings.py config later in Settings.py. Also, cover different tags for variable substitution. Also, custom custom filters and tags. Also, cover Static and Media files here.

Incorporate this somewhere - "Note that you don’t have to use Django’s template system if you prefer another system. While Django’s template system is particularly well-integrated with Django’s model layer, nothing forces you to use it. For that matter, you don’t have to use Django’s database API, either. You can use another database abstraction layer, you can read XML files, you can read files off disk, or anything you want. Each piece of Django – models, views, templates – is decoupled from the next."
