• The second templatetag {% format %} is used to render the object to the page. ``` Used to format an entry for pretty output to the web.

    it will look for a template named the same as the name of the object.

        Template: This is can be a specific template file, or a directory. If it's a
              directory, then files in that directory must be named the same as the model.
              example: tweet.html, photo.html, bookmark.html

    {% format entry [using <template> [dir]] %}
