 The template loader was originally written by [Chris Hartjes](https://github.com/chartjes) under the name 'djaml'. This project has now been merged into the HamlPy codebase.
 
 Add the HamlPy template loaders to the Django template loaders:
-
+```python
     TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
 	    'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyFilesystemLoader',
 	    'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyAppDirectoriesLoader',   
         ...
     )

 If you don't put the HamlPy template loader first, then the standard Django template loaders will try to process

 to expect to find templates (TEMPLATE_DIRS).
