Block.Super Tag In Templates In Django

In this article, we will discuss about block.super tag in templates in Django

Example

Consider a scenario where we have created some HTML inside the block of the base template (which will be inherited by other template). If you want to include the HTML in child templates (which are inheriting base template) then block.super is used.

Here is the code of base template

<html>

<head>
	<title>this is the test title</title>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Title of the page</h1>
	<div id="container"> {% block content%} This is the test content
		<br /> {% endblock content%} </div>
</body>

</html>

Here the string ‘This is the test content’ in block is not displayed in any of the child template unless we use block.super.

Home.html

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content%}
    {{ block.super}}
    This is the home page
{% endblock content%}

Here is the output
