## **What is Jinja?**

[*Jinja*](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/) is a versatile templating language for creating dynamic content. Jinja is a Python-based templating engine that allows you to generate dynamic HTML, XML, or other markup formats. It provides a syntax for embedding Python code within markup, allowing you to create templates that can be customized based on input data. It supports loops, conditional statements, and variable manipulation, making it ideal for complex data processing in workflows. Rewst uses a slightly modified form of Jinja in our platform. Our documentation and training in [Cluck University](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/broken-reference) can help you learn about those differences.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Rewst uses Jinja in text fields to enable more powerful processing of the data that exists in a workflow. Within Rewst, there are many [filters](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/#filters) that extend functionality, including an ever-growing list that Rewst adds to the platform. This means that if you search the web for help with Jinja, the answers you find may or may not be 100% applicable to the Rewst environment. When in doubt, you can always [ask Rewst support for assistance](https://docs.rewst.help/support-and-community/roc-support), or ask [RoboRewsty](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/roborewsty) to help you with Rewst-specific Jinja questions.
