Question: I'm programming my first Django website.
I want to pass data from my view to my template.

my view:

```
from django.views import generic

class AboutView(generic.TemplateView):
    template_name = 'about.html'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        ctx = super(AboutView,self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        ctx['test'] = 'This testtext should be displayed in the Webpage'
        return ctx

```

my template:

```
{% extends 'site_base.html' %}
{% block body %}

{% endblock %}

```

How to display the testtext in the body-block?

Answer: 
Reference the context variable name using double curly braces:

```
{{ test }}

```

See the [docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#variables) for a longer description.
you can add an attrib to it like this :

```
context_object_name = 'ab_list'

```

and then in your html :

```
{{ ab_list }}

```
