Issue with nested templates and child templates with overridden tags that include another template

Issue Summary

This issue is present in both 0.7.0 and 1.0.0 versions, but not in 0.6.0

You can repeat the issue by creating a simple template called test_block.html that includes another template in a for loop using include_block

test_block.html:

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% for button in value %}
    {% include_block button %}
{% endfor %}

test_block.yaml:

context:
  value:
    - button
    - button

tags:
  include_block:
    'button':
      template_name: 'patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/cta_button_block.html'

test_block.html will render by itself in the pattern library without any issue. However, if we have a stream_block.html template that is being used to include some example blocks for a page.body then we see the bug.

Take a page template that includes the following markup:

{% include_block page.body %}

This will repeatedly use a stream_block template to render the blocks in page.body. The yaml for the stream_block instructs the pattern library to render another template story_container.html, which is only used by the pattern library, and includes a list of example blocks to be rendered for page templates. If we add our test_block.html to this like so it renders an error:

story_container.html:

{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/paragraph_block.html" %}
{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/image_block.html" %}
{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/quote_block.html" %}
{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/cta_button_block.html" %}
{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/document_block.html" %}
{% include "patterns/molecules/streamfield/blocks/test_block.html" %}

The error is as follows:

TypeError at /pattern-library/render-pattern/patterns/pages/standardpages/information_page.html

If I change the include_block tag in test_block.html to a simple include tag and pass it the template name, then the issue no longer occurs. If I change the pattern library version for my project to 0.6.0 the issue no longer occurs.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a build using pattern library version 0.7.0 or higher Create a test template as described above, with a forloop and an include_block Try adding the test template to a story_container type template, being used to render a set of example blocks for page.body in the pattern library.

Technical details

• Python version: 3.8.16.
• Django version: 3.2.16.
• Browser version: Chrome Version 107.0.5304.121 (Official Build) (x86_64).

I've reproduced this in a demo project here: https://github.com/b-ggs/django-pattern-library-issue-209

Seems that the issue happens with these specific conditions:

• Template A includes some Template B
• Template B uses a tag that is overriden to display some Template C (in Helen's example, this is include_block from Wagtail)

Templates B and C render properly, but as of django-pattern-library 0.7.0, Template A will not render.
