Courses Plus Student 997 PointsFlask Basics- 'Add two blocks to' not working
The code seems fine. Maybe I'm supposed to edit one of the other two files (I added an extends to the other one jic).
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
{{%extend "layout.html"%}}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head><title>Homepage</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Smells Like Bakin'!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my bakery web site!</p>
</body>
</html>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{% block title %}}Smells Like Bakin'{{% endblock %}}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{%block content%}}{{%endblock%}}
</body>
</html>

Variables are wrapped in {{ }}, directives are wrapped in {% %}. This:
{{%block content%}}{{%endblock%}}
should be replaced by
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
Spaces are required around the arguments, but it makes it a bit more readable.

Courses Plus Student 997 PointsI see the extend(s) error. Will fix, but I doubt that's the problem, though if the instructions aren't clear enough...
