extends

Inherit markup from another template.

Note

A template that extends another template contains only the extends tag and template template block tags.

Signal that this template extends another template. The extends tag must be the first tag in a template that inherits from another template.

Example:

{% extends "base.tpl" %}

All named template blocks in this template will replace the similar named template blocks in the template base.tpl.

Unlike Django the template name must be a string literal, variables are not allowed.

Arguments

The extends tag can pass extra variables to the extended template and inherited fragments:

{% extends "base.tpl" section="news" %}

For compatibility with other tags, the with keyword is also accepted:

{% extends "base.tpl" with section="news" %}

These arguments extend the current template context while the extended template is rendered.
