Template inheritance no longer works?

[balaji-dutt]

Hi,

I was trying to use the inheritance feature as documented in this section of the README, but kept hitting an jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound error.

After quite a bit of searching, I came across this ansible issue which if my understanding is correct implies that extending templates from installed roles is no longer possible. Indeed this comment on the issue specifically mentions trying to use the geerlingguy.nginx role as well and hitting an issue.

Sadly it appears that this feature broke very shortly after it was merged into the role - may I suggest removing it from the README? I have to confess I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to get this work thinking the issue was on my end and I'd like it if somebody benefited from the time I wasted!
