Syntax error in Django template

Question

I'm getting Invalid block tag: 'else'

The code is rather simple:

<tr>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
{% ifequal var1 "string" %}
    {% for i in range5 %}
            {% with v.i as an %}
        {% if an %}
            <tr>
            <td>...</td>
            </tr>
        {% else %}
            <tr>
            <td style="background-color:#A8A8A8">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
        {% endif %}
        {% endwith %}
        {% endfor %}
            <tr>
            <td style="background-color:#A8A8A8">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
ERROR HERE --> {% else %}
                    {% for i in range5 %}
            {% with .. %}
            {% if .. %}
            <tr>
        <td>></td>
            </tr>
            {% else %}
            <tr>
                <td style="background-color:#A8A8A8">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            {% endif %}
            {% endwith %}
            {% endfor %}
            {% endifequal %}

I dont see {% endifequal %}

@user710907 this is omitted - after the {% else %}

And else tag must be within an if tag in django templates. The last else tag does not fall into any if tag since you ended the if statement with endif.

Can't I use else within ifequal ?

@ftkg: Yes you most certainly can.

Well, there's a ifequal tag open, so else should be eligible?

{% ifequal %} can have an else followed by {% endifequal %} In your case, you have a dangling {% else %} which is invalid. Just put an {% endifequal %} after the {% else %} to see what i mean.

@karthikr @ftkg, its as he says, all that matters is the endif.
