Using post objects

After you're done with setting up your post and added your custom functionality in the controller layer. You can now use the post object in your templates.


{% block content %}
	<header class="section">
		<h1>{{ person.get_full_name() }}</h1>
	</header>
	{{ person.content }}
{% endblock %}
