The "contrib" add-ons
=====================
Django aims to follow Python's "batteries included" philosophy. It ships with a
variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development problems.
This code lives in ``django/contrib`` in the Django distribution. Here's a
rundown of the packages in ``contrib``:
admin
=====
The automatic Django administrative interface. For more information, see
`Tutorial 3`_.

A simple yet flexible comments system. This is not yet documented.

A framework for managing simple "flat" HTML content in a database.
See the `flatpages documentation`_.

markup
======
A collection of template filters that implement these common markup languages:
* Textile
* Markdown
* ReST (ReStructured Text)
