| Complicated pages can be defined using the |

| +any HTML code. |

| +For Jinja2 pages that make use of the `{% extends ... %}` tag, template |
| +inheritance is left to Jinja2. It is expected you will populate blocks like |
| +`body` and `head` manually from those pages and have the corresponding blocks in |
| +the parent template. |
| + |
| +If a Jinja2 page does not contain an `{% extends ... %}` tag however the CMS |
| +will take care of template inheritance as with the other formats. The template |
| +as specified in the `template` option will be used by the CMS. Anything between |
| +the `<head>` and `</head>` tags will be inserted into a `head` variable, the |
| +rest into a `body` variable. |
| + |
| +_Note: if you do not use the {% extends ... %} tag the parent template will not |
| +have access to any of the page's state. Blocks, variables etc defined in the |
| +page will not be available for use from the template._ |

| +If you would like your template to support both Jinja2 and standard template |
| +inheritance it is recommended to follow this pattern: |
