Problem/Motivation

If you start to learn about twig you probably will always go to http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html

On there the syntax for a extends block is {

{% extends "foo.html"}

In Drupal though you need:

{% extends "foo.html.twig"}

This is somehow a WTF.

Proposed resolution

Allow both, or don't require .twig at all.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Does Symfony (or whatever) actually map foo.html to foo.html.twig? If not I think this is a won't fix or maybe we can do an upstream PR to update the docs :)

Edit: Near the top:

A template is simply a text file. It can generate any text-based format (HTML, XML, CSV, LaTeX, etc.). It doesn't have a specific extension, .html or .xml are just fine.

The docs seem to to just use .html. I think this is fine personally.

Oh I simply assumed that they do some extension mechanism internally, but I guess you are right, they just use the filename and thats it.

At least \Twig_Loader_Filesystem seems not to implement something like that.

No magic it's just the filename.
