How to make an active link in Python?

Question

Django

Hello!
The template has the following menu code:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
    <li><a href="{% url 'xxx' %}">Ссылка 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="{% url 'yyy' %}">Ссылка 2</a></li>
  </ul>

How to make it so that if the page /xxx/ is open, then class="active" is added to the link
Well, similarly, if you go to the page yyy, then this link already has class="active" ???

Found a solution here python.su/forum/topic/11194/?page=1#post-70900
in my case it looks like this:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
    <li {%if 'xxx' in request.path %}class="active"{%endif%}><a href="{% url 'xxx' %}">Ссылка 1</a></li>
    <li {%if 'yyy' in request.path %}class="active"{%endif%}><a href="{% url 'yyy' %}">Ссылка 2</a></li>
  </ul>
