树枝模板未扩展

Question

I have just setup a apache server and configured twig. I have two template files one called base.html.twig which has the core template elements and dashboard with blocks that correspond to the base.html.twig

dashboard.html.twig

{% extends "base.html.twig" %}
{% block content %}
    <h1>Index</h1>
    <p class="important">
        Welcome on my awesome homepage.
    </p>
{% endblock %}

However when I browse to dashboard.html.twig I just see plain html showing all of the code above. Have I misconfigured something?

I am sure it's something simple so I thank you for your help in advance.

Answer 1

You should not directly "browse" to a twig file, it needs to be parsed and rendered by php objects using classes from Twig libraries.

see http://twig.sensiolabs.org/documentation

Answer 2

To use twig you need PHP installed too. Also you would need Twig PHP library to parse twig templates.
