+``parent``
+==========
+
+When a template uses inheritance, it's possible to render the contents of the
+parent block when overriding a block by using the ``parent`` function:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% extends "base.html" %}
+
+ {% block sidebar %}
+ <h3>Table Of Contents</h3>
+ ...
+ {{ parent() }}
+ {% endblock %}
+
+The ``parent()`` call will return the content of the ``sidebar`` block as
+defined in the ``base.html`` template.
