Make the first letter uppercase inside a django template
I know it's a bit late, but you can use capfirst:
{{ "waiting for action"|capfirst }}
This will result into "Waiting for action"
This solution also works if you have multiple words (for example all caps):
{{ "ALL CAPS SENTENCE"|lower|capfirst }}
This will output "All caps sentence".
Using Django built-in template filter called title
{{ "myname"|title }}
