Templates and Jinja

This tool uses the python Jinja2 templating engine to generate html pages which make up questions. It uses Jinja macros as modular building blocks, and custom filters when more complex operations are required. For example, the root template templates/manifests/assignment.xml will make use of the templates/questions/question_template.xml macro which itself makes use of templates/layouts/exercise.html. These template files are contained in the templates folder.

For more information on how to use Jinja, it's documentation is really good.

If you are editing templates and still need high-fidelity re-import with import_mobius.py, also read Round-Trip Invariants. A template can remain valid for Möbius while still breaking Nobius round-trip reconstruction if it removes the structural markers the importer expects.
