unable to return html page in flask

I have a flask project where I have an endpoint that returns return ''' <h1> Inserted succesfully . Click this link to <a href = "moviehome.html"> go to home page </a> </h1> ''' where I want to click on the href text "go to home page" to return to my home page . However when I click on it I get a 404 URL not found on the server error . I also tried <a href = "{{url_for('home')}}"> inserting the name of my endpoint but the result was the same

My home endpoint :

#home page
@app.route('/')
def home():
    
    return render_template('moviehome.html')

I would appreciate you help with this issue . Thank you in advance.

return '''
<h1> Inserted succesfully . Click this link to
  <a href = "{{ url_for('home') }}"> go to home page </a>
</h1>
'''

you are returning just a plain string with docstring letteral, the jijna2 expression is not parsed but interpreted as string.

the solution is to use string concatenation like

return '''
<h1> Inserted succesfully . Click this link to 
  <a href = " ''' + url_for('home') + ''' "> go to home page </a>
</h1>
'''
