My desired result was achieved...Thanks to your explanation above. I
wanted to have 1 html file linking the two header.html and footer.html
files. This example would be good to have in the book as it really
shows how the extend & includes work...at least it explained it better
for me (the book's example is too simple). I wanted to have 1 extend
at the top of the body.html file...here is what I did:
header.html
<html><head></head><body>
footer.html
</body></html>
main.html
{{include 'header.html'}} <div> my body stuff here </div>{{include
'footer.html'}}
body.html
{{extend 'main.html'}}<div> my body stuff here!</div>
