Didn't get the right `<title>` in the rendered template.

Task:

Finally, change the "index.html" <title> tag to be: {{ super() }} Homepage. Make sure there's a space before "Homepage".

Error:

"Didn't get the right < title > in the rendered template."

What was the problem ?

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')
templates/index.html 
{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %}{{ super() }} Homepage{% endblock %}

{% block content%}
Smells Like Bakin'!
Welcome to my bakery web site!
{% endblock %}
templates/layout.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head><title>{% block title %}{% endblock %} Smells Like Bakin'</title></head>
<body>
  {% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

In the layout template, you'll want "Smells Like Bakin'" inside the title block, like this:

<head><title>{% block title %}Smells Like Bakin'{% endblock %}</title></head>

You'll also want to maintain the HTML tags in the content block in the index template:

{% block content %}
<h1>Smells Like Bakin'!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my bakery web site!</p>
{% endblock %}

Earlier in one of the tasks entering the title as 'Smells Like Bakin' did not work well. Entering Smells Like Bakin' works.

Whereas in this task there is no apostrophe in {% block title %}{{ super() }} Homepage{% endblock %} .

Had to remove the apostrophe to pass this task, why so?
