If I have two templates-
Foo.html
<html>
Hello, {{name}}
{% block something %}
something!
{% end %}
And Bar.html
{% extends Foo.html %}
{% block something %}
Something Else!!
{% end %}
How can I call Bar.html and pass in the variable name?
Calling it the 'normal' way-
self.write(self.render_string('Bar.html',
name="Alice"))
Doesn't seem to pass the name upstream for insertion in Foo.html..
What's the right way to handle this?
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I could use any advice.

if you add this variable to Bar, this will work?
does this means that extends will not look at its variable?

That's exactly the problem ;)
Right now, it doesn't seem to work.
With a Jinja template, for instance, it does.

bizarre, here it works.
because if tornado will not find the variable it will return an error!

here is the file:
foo.html is the header, bar.html is the file you want to render, when
you call self.render(bar.html, x='hello') and if {{x}} is in foo.html
it will be rendered as hello! it always take the latest file that will
be meged with the parent.
