Django with Jinja2: template search path

I'm new to Jinja. Hope some one could answer this simple question. If Jinja encounters the following at the line of the template:

{% extends "details.html" %}

what are the paths it will search to locate details.html? Is there a environment variable or a variable in settings.py to set?

You should see something like this in your settings.py:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'DIRS': [
            os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')    
        ],
        ...
    },
]

This assumes you have a folder named 'templates' where your templates live.

Django will search this folder for templates.
