# `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:

    {% extends "base.html.twig" %}

    {% 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.twig` template.
