# Template formats
# Template Formats
By default, `PromptTemplate` will treat the provided template as a Python f-string. You can specify other template format through `template_format` argument:
`PromptTemplate` by default uses Python f-string as its template format. However, it can also use other formats like `jinja2`, specified through the `template_format` argument.
To use the `jinja2` template:
```python
# Make sure jinja2 is installed before running this
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
jinja2_template = "Tell me a {{ adjective }} joke about {{ content }}"
prompt_template = PromptTemplate.from_template(template=jinja2_template, template_format="jinja2")
prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(jinja2_template, template_format="jinja2")
prompt_template.format(adjective="funny", content="chickens")
# -> Tell me a funny joke about chickens.
prompt.format(adjective="funny", content="chickens")
# Output: Tell me a funny joke about chickens.
```
Currently, `PromptTemplate` only supports `jinja2` and `f-string` templating format. If there is any other templating format that you would like to use, feel free to open an issue in the [Github](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues) page.
To use the Python f-string template:
```python
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
fstring_template = """Tell me a {adjective} joke about {content}"""
prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(fstring_template)
prompt.format(adjective="funny", content="chickens")
# Output: Tell me a funny joke about chickens.
```
Currently, only `jinja2` and `f-string` are supported. For other formats, kindly raise an issue on the [Github page](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues).
