+``block``
+=========
+
+.. versionadded: 1.28
+ Using ``block`` with the ``defined`` test was added in Twig 1.28.
+
+.. versionadded: 1.28
+ Support for the template argument was added in Twig 1.28.
+
+When a template uses inheritance and if you want to print a block multiple
+times, use the ``block`` function:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
+
+ <h1>{{ block('title') }}</h1>
+
+ {% block body %}{% endblock %}
+
+The ``block`` function can also be used to display one block of another
+template:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {{ block("title", "common_blocks.twig") }}
+
+Use the ``defined`` test to check if a block exists in the context of the
+current template:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% if block("footer") is defined %}
+ ...
+ {% endif %}
+
+ {% if block("footer", "common_blocks.twig") is defined %}
+ ...
+ {% endif %}
