In template i can give path to html file which have jinja tags, but what is context?

I can only imagine all the storm of requests rmehta is obliged to ignore?

Instead for pointers and ideas best search the forum or code -

frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ find . -name '*.py' | xargs grep frappe.render_template

Be sure to report back what you find or learn please and thanks
