I'm following the book at pylonsbook.com. I've created a project
called "TemplateDemo" and when I create a template "greeting.html" and
call it with render(), instead of replacing {$name} with the value of
the variable I've passed, it simply shows greeting.html with the
{$name} in it. Its has if I'm viewing the html file statically.

Here is my controller code:


import logging

from pylons import request, response, session, tmpl_context as c
from pylons.controllers.util import abort, redirect_to

from templatedemo.lib.base import BaseController, render

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

class GreetingController(BaseController):

    def index(self):
        name = 'Pylons Developer'
        return render('/greeting.html', extra_vars={'name' : name})


and here is my greeting.html code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Greetings</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Greetings</h1>
    <p>Hello {$name}!</p>
</body>
</html>

What gives?
