I've just installed PyCharm, and have opened an existing project with multiple apps. When I open django templates, they are highlighted as if plain HTML, i.e. {% block %} elements and {{variable}} references are not treated specially.

Is there any way I can force it to use the django template syntax highlighter for these files? Or am I doing something wrong?

The project is configured as a django project.

File » Settings » Template language, do you have Template language setting set to django?

Brilliant, I knew it would be something simple. Thanks very much.
As of PyCharm 3.x, it's in File » Settings » Python Template Languages. I used this same setting to activate syntax highlight in .js files that I'm using as templates.
Using the green + icon, you can add filetypes too. This helped me with Django templates used for plain-text emails.
In OS X, PyCharm >> Preferences >> Languages & Frameworks >> Python Template Languages

Updating because this came up when I googled for an answer and we're several revisions beyond PyCharm 3.x.

In PyCharm 2024.1 open Settings. It's under Languages & Frameworks >> Template Language. Select Django from the Template languages drop down.
