Lets your template extend a built-in one and fill its blocks

All 3 scenarios hold

Pebble templates render a report, and a project can supply its own. Point the reporter at a template directory. The reporter then uses the files in that directory in place of the built-in templates, or on top of them.

The rules below read a report of one test class named Calendar. That class holds one table named Leap years, with the columns Year and Leap? and one row, 2004 and Yes. A report that small lets a rule state a whole page.

Replacing a template means rewriting the page. Extending one means naming the built-in template and filling only the blocks it leaves open. The reporter then keeps rendering the table itself.

There are three such blocks: frontMatter above the page, title in place of the generated heading, and footer below it.

A template that fills one block reads:

{% extends "table.md.peb" %} {% block frontMatter %} … {% endblock %}
