templates not working for me

I'm goofing around with GIN and trying some examples. I can't get templating to work for me.

File inclusion works, but variable substitution does not.

GOLANG version 1.20.12

package main

import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"

import "net/http"

// import "gorm.io/driver/sqlite"

// import "gorm.io/gorm"

func main() {

server := gin.Default()

server.Static("/stylesheets", "./")

server.LoadHTMLGlob("templates/*.html")

server.GET("/test", func(ctx *gin.Context) {

ctx.JSON(200, gin.H{

"message": "OK!!",

})

server.GET("/temp", func(ctx *gin.Context) {

ctx.HTML(http.StatusOK, "index.html", gin.H{

"title": "Main website",

"foo": "bar",

})

server.GET("/index", func(ctx *gin.Context) {

ctx.JSON(200, gin.H{

"message": "OK!!",

})

server.Run(":8080")

}

Specifically, opening a browser and accessing the /temp endpoint doesn't change the title or print the text of 'foo'

templates/header.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>{{.title}}</title>

<head>

</head>

What's going on here?

Ok,

Variable substitution doesn't seem to work in an included template file. Is that a known limitation?

golang-nuts is for general discussion of Go, its tools, and its
standard library. It's fine to ask about the Gin web framework here,
but you are likely to get better answers if you ask in a forum that is
focused on Gin.
