Comment:
I stumbled upon this, while trying to make a first page. The explanation
in docs says:
''
Finally, note that you can’t define multiple {% block %} tags with the
same name in the same template. This limitation exists because a block tag
works in “both” directions. That is, a block tag doesn’t just provide a
hole to fill — it also defines the content that fills the hole in the
parent. If there were two similarly-named {% block %} tags in a template,
that template’s parent wouldn’t know which one of the blocks’ content to
use.
''
If that's the reasoning behind, then the error should only appear, when
the template is used as a leaf of inheritance. And even then it would be
much more intuitive, to just use the defined content. The user would get
that something is wrong, if he got the content twice. Anyway the patch
would also do the work for me. And there are at least two threads found on
google for that problem.
