[Cheetahtemplate-discuss] Basic use of #extends

[Chris S. <ch...@si...>]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to do something which I think should be fairly trivial, but am
yet to work out how to do it in Cheetah. I want a base template for my site
(base.html) with a block in it (#block main_content) which I can fill-out or
override in another template.

In Django I would include the following statement at the top of my other
template:
{extends "/var/www/my/app/templates/base.html"}

Then to fill in one of the blocks defined in base.html I would just do this:
{% block main_content %}
...html...
{% endblock %}

I've tried my best to understand this page:
http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html_multipage/inheritanceEtc.extends.html
but
with no luck.

Hopefully someone out there can quickly explain to me how I should go about
this.

Thanks,
Chris.
