title: Using string literals as parameters to template tags in Django templates
body: <p>One of the things I find myself doing often is passing string literals as parameters to template tags or functions; for instance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% url my-url 'my_param' %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, the django template engine doesn't let you do this.  So I find myself doing this a lot in my view code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_context_dict['MY_PARAM'] = 'my_param'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then in my view code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% url my-url MY_PARAM %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or creating a series of URL mappings, which I personally try to avoid.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use a string literal in Django templates?  Or possibly a more elegant solution?  I haven't seen anything on here or in the documentation.</p>
