title: Access kwargs from a URL in a Django template
body: <p>Can I access value of a named argument (from the URL) in a Django template?</p>
  
  <p>Like can I access the value of <code>this_name</code> below from a django template?</p>
  
  <pre><code>url(r'^area/(?P&lt;this_name&gt;[\w-]+)/$', views.AreaView.as_view(), name="area_list")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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. </p>
  
  <p>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 <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest" rel="noreferrer">request API</a> though.</p>
