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)

Thanks for the report, however I cannot reproduce your issue. In all
described cases everything works for me.
