Access kwargs from a URL in a Django template

Viewed 20362

Can I access value of a named argument (from the URL) in a Django template?

Like can I access the value of this_name below from a django template?

url(r'^area/(?P<this_name>[\w-]+)/$', views.AreaView.as_view(), name="area_list")

I could get the whole URL path and break it up but wanted to check if there's a straight forward way to do that, since it already has a name.

Passing it down in the context data from the view may be an alternative but not sure if I do need to pass it down since I'd guess the template would already have it somehow? Couldn't find a direct method in the request API though.
