[Tutor] Why not to use include?

[Jordan Kanter]

Another thing you can do is use django templates. they "work" to be
similarly to php in the browser, and have something called an
"extends" clause (see
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/)  but in the
background it is completely python (i.e. the template compiler), so it
is not as straight forward as
"preprocessing" html, but it amounts to the same.

Let me know if that helps,

Jordan
