Sorry for the lack of detail, by "not working" I mean that the
rendering to the child.html template shows "Place content here" which
is in the unnamed, dynamically included template, instead of the "My
content!" that I put in the content block of child.html.
Basically the extended template (child.html) does not seem to
recognize/replace template blocks inside the included template.
Probably need to approach what I'm doing in a different way though.
