# validate_templates

synopsis: | Checks templates on syntax or compile errors.

## Options

### verbosity

A higher verbosity level will print out all the files that are processed instead of only the ones that contain errors.

### break

Do not continue scanning other templates after the first failure.

### includes

Use -i (can be used multiple times) to add directories to the TEMPLATE_DIRS.

## Settings

### VALIDATE_TEMPLATES_EXTRA_TEMPLATE_DIRS

You can use VALIDATE_TEMPLATES_EXTRA_TEMPLATE_DIRS to include a number of template dirs by default directly from the settings file. This can be useful for situations where TEMPLATE_DIRS is dynamically generated or switched in middleware, or when you have other template dirs for external applications like celery, and you want to check those as well.

## Usage Example

> ./manage.py validate_templates
