Docs for reusable apps is missing {% extends "base.html" %}

[Thomas Güttler]

I am missing some information on this page:

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/reusable-apps/

If a reusableapp wants to render a whole page, how to do this?

I like the solution from here: ​http://stackoverflow.com/a/36552447/633961

The resusable app uses this in all its templates: {% extends "myreusableapp/base.html" %}

And myreusableapp/base.html looks like this:

{% extends "base.html" %}

This is the way django-allauth works and I guess some other apps, too.

Please include this (or a better way) in the docs.

In general, I think it's difficult for apps to provide sufficiently generic templates that will integrate into a site's layout. Some have proposed some ​common conventions that may work to some extent but in my opinion trying to provide reusable templates shouldn't be a big emphasis of reusable apps.

That said, the idea has come up before, so marking as a duplicate of #19106.
