[Tutor] HttpResponse error

Mon Oct 26 22:47:59 CET 2009

SyntaxError at /

("'return' outside function",
('c:\\Users\\Vincent\\Documents\\django_bookmarks\\..\\django_bookmarks\\boo
kmarks\\views.py', 15, None, 'return HttpResponse(output)\n'))

As you can tell I am very new to this I am realizing that it is very
important that indention and syntax is very important but i don't understand
why I am getting this error This is the the original script in the views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def main_page(request) :

   output = '''

  <html>

     <head><title>%s</title></head>

     <body>

        <h1>%s</h1><p>%s</p>

     </body>

  </html>

''' % (

      'Django Bookmarks',

      'Welcome to Django Bookmarks',

      'Where you can store and share bookmarks!'

)

return HttpResponse(output)

And this (below is the error)
