A feature of jinja that I just discovered is including sub templates. Here is an example from the docs.


``` html
{% include 'header.html' %}
Body goes here.
{% include 'footer.html' %}
```

And inside of my thoughts project I used it to render posts.

``` html
<ul id='posts'>
    {% for post in posts.__root__ %}
    {% include 'post_item.html' %}
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
```

> note that post_item.html automatically inherits the post variable.
