Is there any way you can tell a template not to inherit baseof.html?
Say you have your `_default`
- baseof
- list
- single
Then `section-one` inherits baseof and overrides:
- list
- single
Then say for `section-two` you want the single template to be completely different, and not include anything from baseof.
- list
- single \<- _skip baseof here_
I guess you could achieve this by checking whether you are on a single page in section-two in the baseof template, but wondering if its possible to achieve this from within the section template, i.e `/themes//layouts/section-two/single.html`

Have a look at the section “base template lookup order” for this.

You probably need to create `baseof` in the section-two folder.
Other than that, a really hacky way would be to have a baseof template with only blocks and then overwrite the blocks you don’t like in single.html. an html comment would do the trick.

That would overwrite the `baseof` template for everything in section two though, right? I’m talking about doing it for an individual template (within that section). So as in the example above, for pages using the `single` template, but not those using the `list` template.

Change your baseof template, use anything like
```
{{if (eq .Type "section-two") }}
...
{{ end }}
```

Other templates do not inherit from baseof automatically. You have to write something like this to make the inheritance happen:
```
{{ define "main" }}
{{ end }}
```
So if you omit those bits from your template, it won’t inherit from baseof.

Ha, oh yeah! That’s the answer then 😁
