Put separate block tag inside other separate block tag in child template

I have base template with page title and Open Graph meta

base.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>

<meta property="og:title" content="{% block og-title %}{% endblock %}">

In my child template i want to set both title and og-title to same value. I want use only templates, and avoid duplication of title value.

I can put og-title block inside title block to achieve this.

child.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}{% block og-title %}{% endblock %}{% endblock %}

This works as i expect for Django 1.8.4. But the question is how long it will remain working solution? Is it a kind of dirty hack, that could stop working in feature?

You can use django-capture-tag to capture title block value:

<title>{% capture as meta_title %}{% block title %}{% endblock %}{% endcapture %}</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="{{ meta_title  }}">
