+    Check if a value has changed from the last iteration of a loop.
+
+    The 'myifchanged' block tag is used within a loop. It has two possible uses.
+
+    1. Checks its own rendered contents against its previous state and only
+       displays the content if it has changed. For example, this displays a list of
+       days, only displaying the month if it changes::
+
+            <h1>Archive for {{ year }}</h1>
+
+            {% for date in days %}
+                {% myifchanged %}<h3>{{ date|date:"F" }}</h3>{% endmyifchanged %}
+                <a href="{{ date|date:"M/d"|lower }}/">{{ date|date:"j" }}</a>
+            {% endfor %}
+
+    2. If given a variable, check whether that variable has changed. For example, the
+       following shows the date every time it changes, but only shows the hour if both
+       the hour and the date have changed::
+
+            {% for date in days %}
+                {% myifchanged date.date %} {{ date.date }} {% endmyifchanged %}
+                {% myifchanged date.hour date.date %}
+                    {{ date.hour }}
+                {% endmyifchanged %}
+            {% endfor %}
