Question

In Play Framework, Can one use the #{extends} tag recursively?

I.e., in a child template, extend a parent template, and in the parent template, extend yet another template, like so:

child.html:

#{extends 'parent.html' /}
<h1>I'm a child</h1>

parent.html:

#{extends 'grandparent.html' /}
<h1>I'm a parent</h1>
<div id="content">#{doLayout /}</div>

grandparent.html:

<h1>I'm a grandparent</h1>
<div id="more-content">#{doLayout /}</div>

(Documentation on the extends tag:

Answer 1

Yes, you can. No problem’s at all. It’s even a good rpactice to reuse code in different sections of your application.
