flask_app.py
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/hello/<name>')
def hello(name="Treehouse"):
return render_template("hello.html", name=name) #<-- removed quotes from name
templates/hello.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head><title>Hello!</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Howdy! {{ name }}</h1> {# added name #}
</body>
</html>

flask_app.py
return render_template("hello.html", name=name)
Inside your template file pass the name variable next to "howdy!". In flask you use double curly brackets{{}} to print the variables value.
templates/hello.html
<h1>Howdy! {{ name }} </h1>
I hope this helps! :)
