How can I render form fields in the same line in Django Template

Question

I am iterating and rending the fields of a Django form as:

      {% for field in form_empty_layer.visible_fields %}
         {{ field | as_bootstrap }} </br>
       {% endfor %}

Is there a way in Django to get not only the field which is currently iterated but also the one after? And moreover then Continue the iteration? I need to put fields in the same row. So if for example I have these fields:

field_1_a, field_1_b,field_2_a, field_2_b,

I need the first two to be in the same line and the other two in the next.

Use the {% cycle %} template tag to render a <br/> tag only once in two iterations:

{% for field in form_empty_layer.visible_fields %}
    {% cycle False True as even_row silent %}
    {{ field|as_bootstrap }}{% if even_row %}<br/>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Or:

{% for field in form_empty_layer.visible_fields %}
    {{ field|as_bootstrap }}{% cycle "" "<br/>" %}
{% endfor %}

Trying to get the current item and the next item in one iteration would be painful to write, awful to read and hard to maintain.

Thanks! I get an error: Could not parse the remainder: '%' from '%' Any idea why this is happening. I can not see any } missing.

You are right, it looks like the modulus operator does not exist. You could create it, but it would be actually better to use the {% cycle %} template tag. I update my answer.
