If you see at the beginning of your template it loads/import another file which actually contains the part of code which goes in there, this block has same name like myBlock.

Hope this is helpful

Happy coding!

If you have multiple pages in a website , say , home page , about page and contact page  , now all common content that is not changing from page to like navbar , header and footer you place them in a template page  you can call it layout.html , and in this template page layout .html you define a reserved space for the content that will be changed from page to page using an empty block tag ...

Now for example lets create home page , first you extend the layout.html , then you put inside the block tag the data specific for home page only ..

You see , the purpose of this system is not to repeat the static content in navbar , header and footer in each page

Hi Nexx

Simply put, and as explained by Motaz, block is a django special purpose function called template tag which help to organize hierarchically your templates.

Short better than long, see the following documentation:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/templates/builtins/#block
