extends Template Tag
Example
Specify that this template relies on a parent template:
{% extends "mymaster.html" %}
{% block heading %}
<h2>John Doe</h2>
<p>Explorer of life</p>
{% endblock %}
{% block cars %}
<li>Ford</li>
<li>Volvo</li>
<li>Audi</li>
{% endblock %}
Definition and Usage
The extends tag is used to specify that this
template needs a parent template.
The extends tag takes one argument, which is
the name of the parent template.
When a child template with a parent template is requested, Django uses the
parent template as a "skeleton" and fills it with content from the child
template, according to the matching
block tags.
Example
The parent template has blocks that fits the child template's blocks.
mymaster.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<hr>
{% block heading %}
<h2>No name</h2>
{% endblock %}
<h2>My Cars</h2>
<ul>
{% block cars %}
<li>No cars</li>
{% endblock %}
</ul>
</body>
</html>
