I’m developing an web app with Google app engine that uses jinja2 as a template engine.

I’m my base.html file i have a <link> tag for CSS.

Now i have a another file front.html that extends the first file . It has the {% extends 'base.html' %} block and the code is in a block {% block content %} ……. {% endblock %}.

In the second file, the CSS style won’t apply. Any ideas how to fix it ?

To be more precise:
base.html :

<head>
<link ... >
< /head>
<body>
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</body>

front.html:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
....
{% endblock %}

The style from the tag won’t apply to the block.

    Ok. I figured it out . The path to the front.html was something like /path1/path2 while for the base.html the path was /path1. So it did not link corectly.

    As a solution you can make a block on the link tag and the override it something like:

    {% block stylesheet %}
    <link href="path1/something.css">
    {% endblock %}

    and in the child you have
    {% block stylesheet %}
    <link href="/path1/path2/something.css">
    {% endblock %}

    Or, you could put a path in the app.yaml file.
