OK I'm looking at the page you sent me and it just doesn't explain anything. Here are my questions:
Rendering Templates:
I literally have questions like this for the entire page. It's not helpful at all to me. Am I missing something? I've read the whole page like 3 times now.
No I'm still looking and the code and don't even know where to start.
It's the web development course on EDX.
It really doesn't apply to my project.
Where's the instructions of the syntax?
Rendering Templates:
from flask import render_template
@app.route('/hello/')
@app.route('/hello/<name>')
def hello(name=None):
return render_template('hello.html', name=name)It shows that as an example. The first line I understand (only because I've used it before - it doesn't explain what it does) the second line I assume is just the URL with the name inserted to another level of the directory. Why? It doesn't say what the advantage is of this. The third line what is name=None and why is it set to None? What is "name" even coming from? I scrolled all through the page and there's not a single reference to "name" anywhere else. Then, finally, the final line makes no sense to me whatsoever. name=name? Where is name coming from? Why are we naming it anything? Where is the user input of name?I literally have questions like this for the entire page. It's not helpful at all to me. Am I missing something? I've read the whole page like 3 times now.

Do you have updated code now?

<!doctype html>
<title>Hello from Flask</title>
{% if name %}
<h1>Hello {{ name }}!</h1>
{% else %}
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
{% endif %}Here's the next block of code. I get what it's doing - it's simple. But where is name coming from? how is this a working example of anything?It really doesn't apply to my project.
