Not quite, lets see if this clears things up. Here is the default head
section of master.kid:
{{{
<head py:match="item.tag=='{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}head'" py:attrs="
item.items()">
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"
py:replace="''"/>
<title py:replace="''">Your title goes here</title>
<meta py:replace="item[:]"/>
<style type="text/css">
#pageLogin
{
font-size: 10px;
font-family: verdana;
text-align: right;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import "${tg.url('/static/css/style.css')}";
</style>
</head>
}}}
The first line:
<head py:match="item.tag=='{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}head'" py:attrs="
item.items()">
matches the <head> element in the regular template (say welcome.kid) and
assigns it to the name "item"
further down we see:
<meta py:replace="item[:]"/>
what this is saying is that "this meta tag will be replaced by all of the
descendent tags of 'item' (which is <head> from welcome.kid)"
so it does not just apply to the meta tags in welcome.kid, but the entire
contents of <head> in welcome.kid
so if you take it out, the match template (in master.kid) will replace
<head> in welcome.kid, but will not have any of the original contents of
<head> from welcome.kid...which is why your script tags were disappearing.
Does this make things clearer?
