What process the template??

I don't understand clearly the flow of the template. So you create a template and the render() function make the code readable for the browser right??

  1. So if change the argument of the render file on the function, I could render any html file??
  2. If If i want to render another website i've made, I would need to make it on a template?

The render function formats the HTML to be sent as an HTTP response. This can be a HTML file directly, or it can be a template file in HTML format with placeholders that use context data from the render function to produce unique HTML. This flow is very flexible and can use any HTML / template combination.

Templates and HTML files are usually kept separately for each website, but nothing prevents using files from one website to create pages for another website.

Post back if you have further questions. Good luck!
