django templates: include and extends

Question

I would like to provide the same content inside 2 different base files.

So I\'m trying to do this:

page1.html:

{% extends \"base1.html\" %}
         


        

Answer 1

From Django docs:

The include tag should be considered as an implementation of "render this subtemplate and include the HTML", not as "parse this subtemplate and include its contents as if it were part of the parent". This means that there is no shared state between included templates -- each include is a completely independent rendering process.

So Django doesn't grab any blocks from your commondata.html and it doesn't know what to do with rendered html outside blocks.
