#33317 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Add note about not overriding parent blocks within conditionals

Reported by: Nat S Dunn Owned by: Victor
Component: Documentation Version: 3.2
Severity: Normal Keywords: block, if, Template inheritance

Description

When a parent block is overridden in an if condition, the overridden content is output regardless of the truthiness of the condition. For example:

{% if False %}
  {% block parent %}Foo{% endblock parent %}
{% endif %}

Foo gets output, which feels wrong. But according to Mariusz Felisiak's response at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33311, this is by design.

It would be great if this could be added to the documentation on ​Template Inheritance.
