Template inheritance problem

So I was trying out template inheritance in flask but I see only my layout HTML on my web page. I dont see the HTML from my blocks.

My layout.html:

<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> </head> <body> {% block body %}{% endblock %} <p>Yo!</p>
</body> </html>

My index.html:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %} Home {% endblock %}

{% block content %} <h1> Home sweet home - {name}</h1>

{% endblock %}

However all I see is "Yo!" which is in layout.html. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe a syntax problem?

Got the answer. Problem is my layout has a block called body but my index.html tries to override it with the name content.

You have block body in layout.html and block content in index.html. Use the same block name in both files and it should work.
