Flask/ jinja2 empty spaces and tags not in place

Time:07-10

So, I'm trying to use flask/jinja2 template and I'm having trouble with variables rendered not in the correct place and weird empty char.

base.html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>

<body style="background-color: rgb(146, 173, 196);">
    {%- block body -%}{%- endblock -%}
</body>

</html>

home.html

{% extends "base.html" %}
{%- block body -%}
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100%; background-color: rgb(70, 162, 255);"></div>
{%- endblock -%}

Result

code render

HTML render

  1. The first problem is that " " comes from nowhere but renders as an empty char.
  2. The title tag renders inside the body tag instead of in the head?

CodePudding user response:

Encoding! The problem was using UTF-8 BOM encoding, which was fixed by converting the template file to UTF-8.
