Sorry if this has been documented elsewhere (where?), but how can one iterate with jinja2 over a dictionary?

You can ask here or in stackoverflow.

Thanks

I saw those, but they do not apply to jinja2 templates.

The jinja2 templates documentation contains multiple examples of looping over dictionaries:

Using ‘.iteritems()’, or ‘.items()’ as well as using the ‘|dictsort’ filter
