+This tag can be used in two ways:
* ``{% extends "base.html" %}`` (with quotes) uses the literal value
- "base.html" as the name of the parent template to extend
+ ``"base.html"`` as the name of the parent template to extend.
- * ``{% extends variable %}`` uses the value of ``variable`` as either the
- name of the parent template to extend (if it evaluates to a string,) or
- as the parent tempate itelf (if it evaluates to a Template object).
+ * ``{% extends variable %}`` uses the value of ``variable``. If the variable

+ parent template. If the variable evaluates to a ``Template`` object,
+ Django will use that object as the parent template.
