Is it possible to use a django filter on the result of a templatetag?

I have a template tag which returns datetime objects converted to the user's timezone. To format it, I'd prefer the builtin filter "date" to format it.

You can wrap your custom templatetag with 'filter' templatetag:

{% filter date %}
    {% your_custom_tag %}
{% endfilter %}

More information here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#filter

Yes, if course you can. Filters are just functions that can be imported. Import the filter function you need from django.template.defaultfilters and pass your arguments to it.
