How do I use Jinja2's {% include %}?

Open shirooo39 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the problem I'm trying to use the {% include %} syntax, but I'm getting TemplateNotFound error.

I took out my layouts from my eleventy project but since eel is not a static site generator and doesn't supply any prefix path like in Eleventy, Jekyll or any other SSGs for the includes and layouts, I pointed out my include like this {% include "../includes/appbar/base.html" %}

here's my folder structure image

and below is the traceback when I tried to use {% include %}
