Description

I am trying to not repeat myself in Django, but use the same content for 2 blocks. The content is static so I would rather have in in my templates than sending them through views.

This was the solution I found :

     {% with "My title" as title %}
         {% block TitleOne %}{{ title }}{% endblock TitleOne %}
         {% block TitleTwo %}{{ title }}{% endblock TitleTwo %} 
{% endwith %}

In a templates that extends a second one that uses the blocks TitleOne and TitleTwo .

But it does not work. If I write it like :

{% block TitleOne %}"My title"{% endblock TitleOne %}
{% block TitleTwo %}"My title"{% endblock TitleTwo %}


It works perfectly. But of course it s not DRY. If I write it like :

     {% with "My title" as title %}
         {% block TitleOne %}"My title"{% endblock TitleOne %}
         {% block TitleTwo %}{{ title }}{% endblock TitleTwo %}
{% endwith %}

Only the 1st one displays right. But not DRY as well.

Tried another way suggested in Django's docs : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/templates/builtins/#with

{% with title="My title" %}
             {% block TitleOne %}"My title"{% endblock TitleOne %}
             {% block TitleTwo %}{{ title }}{% endblock TitleTwo %}
    {% endwith %}

Only the 1st one displayed too..

(I am using Django 2.2.1, Python 3.7.3)
