Block template tags and include html

I've got two html files. I want to include one in the other and then use a block statement in the second.

message.html

<div>
  Hi
</div>

{% block message1 %}

{% endblock message1 %}

main.html

{% include "message.html" %}

{% block message1 %}
     this is a message
{% endblock message1 %}

When main.html is rendered, the string "this is a message" doesn't show up. Do you know why?

thanks!

Instead of include, use extends

like this

{% extends 'message.html' %}

{% block message1 %}
     this is a message
{% endblock message1 %}

You can refer to the official docs about django template tags Built-in template tags and filters
