Django {% include %} tag displays hardcorded string but not variable

I want one template to inherit a variable from another template using the Django {% include %} tag. But it's not happening.

section.html, the template to inherit from:

{% block section1 %}
<p>My cows are home.</p>
--> {{ word_in_template }} <--
{% endblock %}

index.html, which should inherit word_in_template from section.html:

{% include "section.html" with word_in_template=word_in_template %}

I've also tried {% include "section.html" with word_in_template=word %}.

My view:

def myblog(request):
    return render_to_response('index.html')

def section(request):
    word = "frisky things."
    return render_to_response('section.html', {'word_in_template':word})

Output for section.html in Chrome:

My cows are home.

--> frisky things. <--

Output for index.html in Chrome:

My cows are home.

--> <--

I'm following this solution but it doesn't work for me. "frisky things" shows if I load section.html but it doesn't show on index.html. However, the hardcoded string My cows are home shows up on index.html.

I think I'm following the documentation right too. But I'm new so maybe I'm not reading things right or something. What am I doing wrong?

When you include section.html in your index.html template, it doesn't automatically include the context from the section view. You need to include the context in the myblog view.

def myblog(request):
    word = "my_word"
    return render(request, 'index.html', {'word_in_template':word}))

In the template, the correct way to do the include is word_in_template=word_in_template, since word_in_template is the key in the context dictionary.

{% include "section.html" with word_in_template=word_in_template %}
