In my website I'm using a base template that contains most of the
formatting.
render = web.template.render(basedir + 'templates/', base='layout',
globals=globals_vars_custom)
in "layout.html" I have something like:
$def with (content)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>PAGE TITLE</title>
<!-- Some CSS and some javascript -->
</head>
<body>
$:content
</body>
</html>
This base template works fine for the 90% of my website, but I have a
page in which I need to insert some other data inside the `<head>`
(some meta tags).
How can I do this? Is it possible to put the "<head>" inside a
structure that I can easily override inside a template?
Thanks,
Giovanni

You can define vars in inner template, and get their values in base, like this:
page.html:
$def with(title)
$var title: $title
base.html:
$def with(page)
<title>$page.get("title","Default title")</title>
$:page

I use this snippet in my base template. I think I picked it up from an
old post in this group:
<head>
...
$if hasattr(content, 'stylesheets'):
$for f in content.stylesheets.split():
<link rel="stylesheet" href="$f" type="text/css"/>
...
</head>
And then in a contained template:
$var stylesheets: /static/css/custom.css /static/css/print.css
