Answer 1

because you don't pass your context data to your html file, pass it by doing this:

def index(request):
    context = {
        "nav": [
            ["/", "Home"],
            ["/about", "About"],
            ["/blog", "Blog"],
        ],
    }
    return render(request, "index.html", context)
