This seems so simple and yet it refuses to work...
I have my base.html file:
{% load static %}
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>
{% block title %}
Simple Skeleton
{% endblock title %}
</title>
and my home.html file:
{% extends "base.html" %}
<% block title %>
Resource List
<% endblock %>
(they are both a bit longer but I feel this is all that is necessary)
The home.html completely fails to overwrite the sections within the code blocks - the page title remains "Simple Skeleton" and not "Resource List" despite me accessing the home.html file.
What am I doing wrong?

Django template tags are written between {% … %}
, not , so <% … %>
{% block title %}
, not :<% block title %>
{% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %} Resource List {% endblock %}
By not using the proper template tag, Django will not render this content: it is content outside a block, so it will not have an effect on the inherited template.
CodePudding user response:
You have a typo error in home.html
. Use {% %}
for template tags instead of <% %>
.
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}
Resource List
{% endblock %}
