I’m encountering an issue with my Django project where I’m trying to include a static CSS file in my HTML template. Despite trying multiple solutions, I keep getting the error:
ERROR: Invalid Token. Expected stringEnd but found tag start "{%" instead.
Here’s my HTML template:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Image</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a pic</h1>
<img src="{% static 'images/pic.jpg' %}" alt="pic">
</body>
</html>
I getting this error on this line <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}"> by hovering on this line on my editor(vs code).
Solutions I’ve Tried:
Placed {% load static %} at the top.
Verified no syntax errors.
Checked static settings in settings.py.
Confirmed template backend setup.
Ensured correct directory structure.
Restarted server and cleared cache.
