``parent``
==========

When a template uses inheritance, it's possible to render the contents of the
parent block when overriding a block by using the ``parent`` function:

.. code-block:: twig

    {% extends "base.html" %}

    {% block sidebar %}
        <h3>Table Of Contents</h3>
        ...
        {{ parent() }}
    {% endblock %}

The ``parent()`` call will return the content of the ``sidebar`` block as
defined in the ``base.html`` template.
