 Hello,

 When a user wants to customize the default "layout.html" template (as an
 example) he/she has to copy it from the source code and modify it in the
 master's 'templates' directory.

 It would be really great, and much more in the respect of Jinja's template
 inheritance spirit, that the user can "extend" a default template, using
 the {% extend "layout.html" %} Jinja's feature.

 Note: such change is totally "binary/api compatible" for users already
 overriding the default "layout.html" and other default templates.

 I am not sure that this request is very clear ... If not feel free to ask
 for more details !

 Thank you very much !
 Cheers,
 CH

Comment:

 We should offer a way to do something vaguely similar in the JS UI.
