I take it you mean extends, not inherits, here.

Yes, in a template that is extending another, everything has to be in a
block. From http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#id1:
The {% extends %} tag is the key here. It tells the template engine that
this template "extends" another template. When the template system evaluates
this template, first it locates the parent -- in this case, "base.html".
At that point, the template engine will notice the three {% block %} tags in
base.html and replace those blocks with the contents of the child template.
Thus, the only thing relevant in a child template is text contained in {%
block %} elements that were previously defined in a parent template. There
isn't any place for text outside of such {% block %} tags in a child
template to go -- where would it be logically placed in a parent template?
I'll leave the block.super question for someone else to answer, as it's not
immediately obvious to me what you are asking and I've run out of time right
now.
