webdog templates

in webdog, Tera templates are used as the backbone for your site. as used in webdog, your Tera templates are essentially just an extension on top of html.

when you create your site, a file at templates/base.tera will be created, acting as the default base template for all pages.

base template blocks

all base templates should include a block named content. this will be used in other templates, particularly resource templates, to render to the correct location on the page.

template data

all templates are given the following variables:

title

the page’s full title, as shown in the browser tab.

page

the main html content for the page to be rendered. can be rendered anywhere you choose, for instance:

<main class="page">
  {% block content %}{{ page | safe }}{% endblock content %}
</main>

userdata

custom userdata provided by the page to be rendered.

if a page defines its userdata as follows:

userdata:
  value: 5

you may use it like so:

{{ userdata.value }}

or, to only use it only if it exists:

{% if userdata is object and 'value' in userdata %}
{{ userdata.value }}
{% endif %}
